Explanation:

To determine what contributes to wrinkles and loose skin with aging, we analyze each option:

• Option a: Increase in intraocular pressure is related to eye conditions like glaucoma, not skin aging.
• Option b: Damage to the optic nerve affects vision, not skin texture or elasticity.
• Option c: Collagen provides skin with structure and elasticity. Loss of collagen as we age leads to reduced skin firmness, causing wrinkles and loose skin.
