D. Skin

Because The skin is the largest organ of the body, with a total area of about 20 square feet. The skin protects us from microbes and the elements, helps regulate body temperature, and permits the sensations of touch, heat, and cold.



Hope this helps! ;)

The largest organ in the human body is actually the skin! Since it is a collection of tissues serving a directed purpose of protecting our other organs, it can be considered an organ. I hope this helps!
