How does skin type IV typically react to tanning?

Skin type IV is characterized by a moderate amount of pigment and typically includes individuals with light brown skin. This skin type is known for its ability to tan easily while having a lower probability of burning compared to lighter skin types.

People with skin type IV can develop a tan relatively quickly when exposed to UV radiation from tanning sources, such as the sun or tanning beds. The increased melanin production helps protect the skin from some UV damage, resulting in more efficient tanning and less frequent occurrences of sunburn. This natural ability to tan easily and the reduced risk of burning distinguish skin type IV from other skin types that may have different reactions under similar tanning conditions.

The other options do not accurately describe skin type IV's reaction to tanning; hence they do not provide the right context.
