The answer is the last one: Structure.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Water resistance: Collagen does not provide water resistance to the skin. Water resistance is typically provided by the lipid barrier in the skin.
  2. UV protection: Collagen does not offer UV protection. UV protection is primarily provided by melanin in the skin.
  3. Color: Collagen does not give color to the skin. Skin color is determined by melanin.
  4. Elasticity: While collagen contributes to the skin's firmness and structure, elasticity is primarily provided by elastin fibers.
  5. Structure: Collagen is a primary structural protein in the skin, providing tensile strength and structural support.

Summary: Collagen gives structure and tensile strength to the skin.
