The correct choice among the provided options is:
**increased the incidence of cancers in those exposed to the radiation.**
The Chernobyl disaster in 1986 had significant health impacts, particularly in terms of increased risk of cancers such as thyroid cancer among those exposed to radioactive iodine. The other statements are incorrect. There were fatalities associated with the accident, the effects spread beyond Ukraine to neighboring countries, and the increase in black lung and related diseases is not relevant to the radiation exposure from Chernobyl.
Therefore, the best answer is the first option.
