B. producing muscle cells in the marrow

This option is NOT a main function of the skeletal system. The skeletal system primarily provides support, stores minerals, and facilitates movement, while the production of muscle cells is a function of the muscular system and not the skeletal system. The bone marrow in the skeletal system is involved in the production of blood cells (red and white blood cells), not muscle cells.
