Skin sensitivity to light and premature aging are characteristics of:

Malignant melanoma
Extrinsic aging
Albinism
Intrinsic aging

The correct answer is: Albinism

One characteristic of albinism is skin sensitivity to light and premature aging. Malignant melanoma, which is a type of skin cancer, is incorrect because it is not a characteristic of the condition, but rather a potential complication. Extrinsic aging is incorrect because it refers to aging caused by external factors, such as sun exposure, while albinism is a genetic condition. Intrinsic aging is also incorrect because it refers to the natural aging process of the skin, whereas albinism causes premature aging. Therefore, option C, albinism, is the correct answer.
