Answer: B builds important cellular structures

Step-by-step explanation:

Collagen is a protein that provides structural support to extracellular space in connective tissues.

A is wrong because it has nothing to do with creating genetic information.

B is correct

C is wrong because collagen's purpose is not to provide energy.

D is wrong because this protein does not function to insulate against low temperatures.
