What does 'A' stand for in the ABCDE cancer checklist?

Asymmetry
Area
Age
Activation

The correct answer is: Asymmetry

The ABCDE cancer checklist is used for the early detection of skin cancer. Each letter stands for a specific characteristic to look out for when examining a mole or skin lesion. 'A' stands for asymmetry, which means that one half of the mole looks different from the other half. This can be an early sign of skin cancer. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately match with the corresponding letter in the ABCDE checklist. This means that age, area, and activation are not considered characteristics of skin cancer according to this checklist.
