A. MELANOCYTES

Explanation

Melanocytes are specialized cells in the epidermis that produce and distribute melanin, a pigment that gives color to the skin, hair, and eyes. Melanin acts as a natural sunscreen, protecting the skin from the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) light. When the skin is exposed to UV radiation, melanocytes produce more melanin, causing the skin to darken or tan. This increased melanin production helps to absorb and scatter the UV rays, preventing them from damaging the DNA in skin cells and reducing the risk of sunburn and skin cancer.
