Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Beyond support, the exoskeleton provides protection against predators and strength against prey. And it protects arthropods from the environment, for example, keeping ocean-dwellers from being affected by small changes in saltiness and preventing land-dwellers from drying out.
