Albinism is an inherited condition present at birth, characterized by a lack of pigment that normally gives color to the skin, hair, and eyes. Many types of albinism exist, all of which involve lack of pigment in varying degrees. The condition,which is found in all races, may be accompanied by eye problems and may lead to skin cancer later in life. People with partial albinism are at an increased risk for skin problems. See https://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Partial+albinism for more information.
When you’re faced with explaining vitiligo, it can be easy to relate the condition to albinism, which seems to be a more widely recognized disease. However, vitiligo and albinism are vastly different conditions and further, being able to correctly educate others about vitiligo is crucial to raising awareness for the vitiligo community at large. The medical definition of Leukoderma is the same as vitiligo -- it actually refers you to vitiligo.

I believe the answer is c) melanoma
