在这个句子中，“A research team has found that increased? to sunlight may decrease the risk of breast cancer.” 合适的填空词是“exposure”。

完整的句子是：“A research team has found that increased exposure to sunlight may decrease the risk of breast cancer.”

“Exposure”指的是暴露于阳光中，这个词在医学和科学研究中常用于描述人们接触某种因素的程度。

根据上下文，“He was always? in the company of women, especially girls.” 的合适填空是“in the company of women”中的“exposure”。

所以完整的句子是：“He was always in exposure in the company of women, especially girls.”

选择“exposure”意思是他总是暴露在女性，尤其是女孩的陪伴中。

其他选择词汇在此句中不太合适。
