Solution

The correct option is C Intestines
Bone tissue performs numerous functions including:
  • Support for muscles, organs, and soft tissues.
  • Leverage and movement.
  • Protection of vital organs, e.g. heart and lungs (protected by rib cage), brain (protected by the skull) (Note: not all vital organs are protected by bones, e.g., the intestines.)
So, the correct answer is option C.
