○ a procedure

○ b results

○ d observation

Explanation:

A hypothesis is a testable prediction or statement that proposes a relationship between variables (here, UV light exposure and skin cancer risk). The given statement "If skin cancer is related to ultraviolet light, then people with a higher exposure to UV light will have a higher chance of getting skin cancer" is a testable prediction, fitting the definition of a hypothesis. A procedure is the steps to test, results are data from tests, and observations are noticing phenomena—none match as well as hypothesis.

Answer:

c. Hypothesis
