Solution
The correct option is C Layers of proteins and chitin
Arthropods are covered with a tough, resilient integument or
exoskeleton of chitin. Generally the exoskeleton will have thickened areas in
which the chitin is reinforced or stiffened by materials such as minerals or
hardened proteins. This happens in parts of the body where there is a need for
rigidity or elasticity. So, the correct answer is 'Layers of protein and chitin'.
