Solution

The correct option is C Lacunae
The small space in the matrix, containing an osteocyte in bone or chondrocyte in cartilage is called as Lacunae. The Lacunae are situated between the lamellae and consist of a number of oblong spaces. Each lacuna is occupied during life by a branched cell, termed an osteocyte, bone-cell or bone-corpuscle. Therefore the correct answer is option C.
