Answer 1

The correct option is C Helps body to absorb food

• The skin is one of the largest organs in the body in surface area and weight.
• The skin consists of 3 layers: the epidermis, the dermis and the hypodermis or subcutaneous fatty tissue.
• The skin has three main functions: protection, regulation and sensation. Hence, the skin does not help the body to absorb food.

So, the correct answer is 'Helps the body to absorb food'.
