The correct option is C Osteoblasts
Chondroclast is a large multinucleated cell involved in the resorption of calcified cartilage.
Osteoblast is a large cell responsible for the synthesis and mineralization of bone during bone formation and bone remodeling.
Chondroblast is a cell, which originates from a mesenchymal stem cell and forms chondrocytes (called as cartilage cells).
Osteoclast is a large, multinucleated cell responsible for dissolution and absorption of bone.
Thus, the correct answer is the option (B).
