Sorry, the correct answer is
B. Decreases the risk of skin cancer
Answer: B. Drinking at least three cups of caffeinated coffee a day appears to protect against the most common form of skin cancer, basal cell carcinoma, according to a study out by Brigham and Women’s Hospital.

The study was published July 2 in Cancer Research.
