B) "Stay out of the sun entirely when possible.".
C) "Enjoy the sun without taking precautions.".
D) "Be cautious, even on overcast days.".
D
Feedback:
Getting a sunburn on a cloudy day is possible, especially if she is near water. An SPF of 15 is needed for fair-skinned people, but SPF 4 to 6 may be sufficient for her. As she has dark skin, she does not need to stay indoors, but neither should expose herself to ultraviolet rays unnecessarily or without any sunscreen.
