The correct answer is: Lentigo

Lentigo is another term for a freckle. A mole (A) is a dark spot or irregularity in the skin, while eczema (C) is a skin condition characterized by red, itchy, and scaly patches. A nevus (D) is a general term for any type of mole, birthmark, or discoloration of the skin. Lentigo specifically refers to small, brown spots on the skin that are caused by an increase in melanin production. It is a type of freckle that is commonly seen on individuals with fair skin.
