Answer:

The most appropriate answer would be C) provides support for the body and protects delicate internal organs.

The skeletal system consists of bone, ligaments, cartilages and other tissues.

The main functions of a skeletal system in a human being are:

  • Support: It provides the framework and support to the body which helps in maintaining the shape of the body. For example, lungs would have collapsed in absence of rib cage and associated muscles.
  • Movement: It helps in movement and locomotion of the body.
  • Protection: It protects the internal organs of the body. For example, the skull protects the brain, vertebrate protects the spinal cord et cetera.
  • Blood cell production:  Haematopoiesis mainly occurs in the bone marrow.
  • Storage: It can store minerals like iron and calcium.
  • Endocrine regulation: Osteocalcin released from bone cells contributes to the blood sugar (glucose) regulation and fat deposition.

Explanation:

the primary function of Xylem and its conducting vessels tracheids is to provide  support and tranport  water and  minerals  in plants.

Xylem vessels  have layers of dead materials in the walls called LIGNIN.   Lignin is a polymer; a  very strong, hard materials that stop water passage  through it,because it contains dead cells,

Therefore  the presence of  deposit of these strong  impermeable, ligified  walls  in its  walls  prevent its collapse during mass flow of water of transpiration pull.
