Question

lets check what youve remembered from that quick overview. what are the basic functions of skin? a) remove the majority of water and waste fluids from the body, synthesize vitamins d and a, prevent water and heat loss b) protect and insulate the body and its organs, prevent water and heat loss, and synthesize proteins and vitamin d c) synthesize natural antimicrobials, protect and insulate the body, regulate the temperature of internal organs d) prevent water and heat loss, remove the majority of water and waste fluids from the body, stabilize blood circulation

Explanation:

Skin acts as a barrier to prevent water and heat loss. It also synthesizes natural antimicrobials to protect the body and helps insulate it. It plays a role in regulating body - temperature which is related to regulating the temperature of internal organs. Skin does not remove the majority of water and waste fluids (that's mainly the kidneys' job), nor does it synthesize proteins or vitamin A in the context of its basic functions.

Answer:

c) Synthesize natural antimicrobials, protect and insulate the body, regulate the temperature of internal organs
