I think its B not sure tho

Answer: B) Ultraviolet rays have a higher frequency and therefore has more energy.

Ultraviolet rays is a spectrum of electromagnetic radiation. The wavelength of these rays range from 10nm to 400nm, the wavelength is shorter than the visible light but longer than X- rays. The higher frequency, high energy and short wavelength results in the increase in the penetration power of these rays. Therefore, these rays being invisible to human eye, cause sunburn to skin.
