C is the correct answer. A and B are incorrect because X-rays are a different type of electromagnetic wave to UV rays, so avoiding X-rays will have little effect on UV-induced mutations. Tanning beds still emit UV radition, so you cannot avoid UV by using tanning beds. Sunscreen is one of the best forms of protection against UV rays.
