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.
So, the correct answer is 'Excretion'.
