muscular

integumentary

excretory

digestive

check answer

that’s incorrect.

Explanation:

1. Analyze each system:

• Muscular system: Involved in movement, not related to infection, temperature control, or water loss.
• Integumentary system (skin, hair, nails): Functions include protection (against infections), temperature regulation (sweating, blood flow), and water balance (prevents excess water loss). Julia's symptoms match this system's functions.
• Excretory system: Mainly removes waste via kidneys/urine, not primary in temperature or infection protection.
• Digestive system: Processes food, unrelated to these symptoms.

Answer:

B. integumentary
