moves parts of the body
C

D
releases waste materials
E
produces vitamin A
F
gives the body support and shape

Explanation

The skin helps control body temperature by sweating and changing blood flow near the surface. It also serves as a protective barrier and releases small amounts of waste in sweat. The skin does not move body parts or give the body its support and shape; those functions are mainly performed by muscles and the skeleton. Skin helps produce vitamin D, not vitamin A.
