Solution
The correct option is
A
Chitin
Arthropod bodies are supported by external bones or hardened exoskeleton which is made up of chitin.
It is produced by their skin which hardens to form a protective outer covering.
The exoskeleton is a non-living substance that provides protection and prevents water loss from their body.
So, the correct answer is 'Chitin'.
