Solution
The correct option is C Excretion
The human skeleton is the internal framework of the body.
It is composed of around 270 bones at birth this total decreases to around 206 bones by adulthood after some bones get fused together.
The skeleton serves six major functions: support, movement, protection, production of blood cells, storage of minerals and endocrine regulation. Hence, Excretion is not a biological function of the skeleton.
