• B. Protects the body
• C. Connect bone to muscle
• D. Connects muscle to muscle

Answer 1

The correct option is A Connects skin to bone and muscle

The skin has three layers:

• The epidermis, the outermost layer of skin, provides a waterproof barrier and creates our skin tone.
• The second layer of skin is the dermis, located under the epidermis. It contains connective tissue, nerve endings, and hair follicles.
• Subcutaneous tissue is the third layer of the skin. Located beneath the dermis and epidermis, it is mostly fat. This layer plays an important role in your body by attaching the dermis to your muscles and bones. This layer has a special connecting tissue that attaches the dermis to your muscles and bones. Hence, the function of the hypodermis layer of skin is to connect the skin to bone and muscle.

So, the correct answer is 'Connects skin to bone and muscle'.
