Which measures help prevent sunburn?

• A. Sunscreen only
• B. Hat and sunglasses
• C. Long sleeves without sunscreen
• D. Sunscreen, hat, long sleeves

Answer: (D)

Preventing sunburn comes from using multiple layers of protection against UV rays. A broad-spectrum sunscreen protects skin that isn’t fully covered and needs reapplication after swimming or sweating. A hat shields the face, ears, and neck from direct sun, while long sleeves add a physical barrier to the arms. Sunglasses protect the eyes but don’t prevent skin sunburn, and relying on long sleeves alone still leaves exposed areas at risk. Using sunscreen, a hat, and long sleeves together gives the most comprehensive protection against sunburn.
