The correct Answer is A

Lentigo Maligna (aka Hutchinson’s freckle)— this is basically malignant melanoma in situ. You see increased numbers of scattered atypical melanocytes in the epidermis. These often occur on the face of older individuals. Lentigo maligna lesions have not yet gone into the vertical growth phase. They may be scarred, brown, large spots often not palpable. Sometimes lentigo malignas develop in solar lentigos. When the lesion invades the dermis it is called a lentigo maligna melanoma.
