Answer:

d) Make it flexible  

Step-by-step explanation:

Tanning converts the protein of the raw hide into a stable material that will stay flexible and not decompose when it gets wet.

a) is <em>wrong</em>. The purpose of tanning is to soften the leather.

b) is <em>wrong</em>. You smooth the leather manually with fine sandpaper.

c) is <em>wrong</em>. Tanning does not impart water resistance. It prevents the leather from putrefying when it does get wet.

Why do you Think you weight less on Uranus than earth even though it is more massive planet ? 
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

You would weigh less on Uranus than on Earth because Uranus is far less mass-ive and dense than the Earth. This means that there is less gravity. Therefore, you would weigh less.

Explanation:

Even though Uranus is bigger, it is less massive; that is, there is less mass that makes up the planet. The volume of the planet might be larger, but the actual amount of mass isn't.

By the way, you couldn't stand on Uranus. It's made of gas!
