What is albanism?

Frequent blushing
Absence of melanin pigment
Excessive pigmentation
Chronic acne

The correct answer is: Absence of melanin pigment

Albanism is a genetic condition that causes a lack of melanin pigment, which gives color to the skin, hair, and eyes. Option A is incorrect because blushing is a temporary physiological response and not linked to any genetic condition. Option C is incorrect because excessive pigmentation can occur for various reasons unrelated to albinism. Option D is incorrect because chronic acne is a skin condition caused by oil, bacteria, and inflammation, and is not related to the pigmentation of the skin.
