The Nutrient Photolysis Hypothesis states that: melanin is important in the synthesis of the protein photolysis, and darker skinned individuals are better able to produce this protein lighter skinned individuals produce too much folate and require photolysis to maintain healthy levels darker skin tones protect against folate depletion preventing developmental problems in offspring lighter skinned individuals absorb more photolysis which is important to synthesize Vitamin D

ANSWER) The Nutrient Photolysis Hypothesis states that the skin with higher concentration so melanin prevent the photolysis of folate by the UVR and therefore prevent the diseases like anemia. More the melanin content the darker will be the skin. Light colored skin means low melanin content and dark colored skin means higher melanin content. ANSWER) Therefore the correct answer is option (c) darker skin tones protect against folate depletion preventing developmental problems in offspring.
