Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

Skin is the largest organ in our body which acts as a protective organ. Our skin is not permeable to water and gases for proper exchange. Human skin is not moist which is required to promote diffusion and the skin is multilayered with tightly packed cells. Think layer of membrane is required for smooth diffusion of gases which is absent in our skin.
