Which function of the skin controls body temperature?

  1. Absorption

  2. Excretion

  3. Temperature Regulation

  4. Sensation

The correct answer is: Absorption

The function of the skin that controls body temperature is called temperature regulation. This vital function allows our bodies to maintain a stable internal temperature regardless of external factors. Absorption and excretion are important functions of the skin, but they do not directly control body temperature. Sensation is also an important function of the skin, but it does not play a role in temperature regulation. Therefore, the best answer to this question is C Temperature Regulation.
