Solution

The correct option is B

Skin


The skin is the largest organ of the body. Epidermis, the outermost layer of skin, provides a waterproof barrier and creates our skin tone. It protects the body from the sun's rays and has a vital role to play in thermoregulation, keeping the body temperature within normal ranges. Skin temperature depends largely on air temperature and time spent in that environment.
