Answer 1

The correct statement is:

Exercising outside is correlated with an increased incidence of skin cancer.

This wording implies that there is a relationship observed between exercising outside and the incidence of skin cancer, potentially due to factors such as increased sun exposure that can lead to DNA mutations in the skin.
