The right option is b. actinic keratosis
An actinic keratosis describes a precancerous skin growth that occurs on sun-damaged skin. It is commonly found on the face, lips, ears, scalp and neck. The affected parts of the body appear rough, bumpy and scaly. A small percentage of actinic keratosis lesions can lead to skin cancer.
