b prevention of albinism
c production of viatmin e
d detection of heat and touch
e protection from cancer

Explanation:

The integumentary system (skin, hair, nails, etc.) has sensory receptors that can detect heat, touch, pressure, etc. Acid - base balance is mainly regulated by the respiratory and urinary systems. Albinism is a genetic condition and not prevented by the integumentary system. The skin produces Vitamin D (not E) when exposed to sunlight. The integumentary system does not protect from cancer in the way described in option E.

Answer:

D. detection of heat and touch
