Explanation:

The axial skeleton includes the skull, vertebral column, and thoracic cage. Its functions are to form the longitudinal axis of the body (A), protect underlying organs (C), and encase body cavities (D). The appendicular skeleton (limbs and girdles) aids in motion. So, "aid in motion" is not a function of the axial skeleton.

B. aid in motion
