Answer 1

The most accurate response regarding how sunscreen lotion interferes with the transfer of energy from the sun to a person's skin is:

Reflects most of the ultraviolet radiation from the sun.

Sunscreens work by either absorbing or reflecting UV radiation, thus reducing the amount of UV radiation that penetrates the skin and helps protect against sunburn and skin damage.
