It provides structural support and protects internal organs.

Explanation: the skeletal system's primary roles are support, protection, leverage for movement, mineral (e.g., calcium) storage, and blood cell production. The other options describe the digestive system (breaks down food), circulatory system (transports gases), and nervous system (sends rapid electrical signals).
