Answer
A
It can be caused by a mutation in normal cells.
B
It can result from too much exposure to the harmful rays of the Sun.
C
Skin cancer is found more frequently in people who have obesity.
D
Most skin cancer cells multiply rapidly.
E
Skin cancer can be treated in a variety of ways, including with chemotherapy.

Explanation

Skin cancer can develop when mutations cause normal skin cells to grow out of control, and ultraviolet rays from the Sun can damage cells and trigger those mutations. Cancer cells typically multiply uncontrollably, although the growth rate varies among types of skin cancer. Treatments include surgery, radiation, medicines, and sometimes chemotherapy. Obesity is not a typical risk factor for skin cancer, so that statement is false.
