Solution

The correct option is B Red bone marrow present in diaphysis is the site of production of blood cells
Red bone marrow is present in epiphysis not in the diaphysis. Diaphysis contains yellow bone marrow. So the correct option is 'red bone marrow present in diaphysis is the site of production of blood cells'
