Question

Explanation:

Braces are commonly used to give support to a joint that has been weakened due to injury, illness or other conditions. They don't primarily protect from impacts (helmets etc. are for that), don't apply pressure to cuts and scrapes (band - aids etc. do that), and don't keep joints cool and comfortable as a main function.

Answer:

B. provide support for a weakened joint
