Solution

The correct option is A Collagen
A- Collagen is found throughout the body specially in skin,bones and connective tissues. In connective tissues collagen is found in the extracellular matrix which gives density to the tissue. It helps in replacement and restoration of dead skin cells. With age, the body produces less collagen leading to wrinkles and cartilage problems.
