B Correct answer
Explanation

The sentence requires a verb meaning 'to receive or obtain support' in present tense. 'Gets' is the only option that correctly completes the meaning: 'Our body gets its support from this strong frame made of bones called skeleton.' 'Results' doesn't make sense contextually, 'withdraws' means the opposite, and 'makes' doesn't fit the body's relationship to the skeleton.
