A Correct answer
Explanation

Excessive carrot consumption can cause carotenosis (also called carotenemia), a harmless condition where excess beta-carotene accumulates in the skin, causing orange-yellow discoloration particularly on palms, soles, and face. It reverses when carrot intake is reduced. This is not a disease but a temporary skin color change.
