C. Osteoblast (iii) Bone maintaining
D. Osteoclast (iv) Bone eating

• A. A - (iv), B - (ii), C - (i), D - (iii)
• B. A - (i), B - (ii), C - (iii), D - (iv)
• C. A - (ii), B - (iv), C - (iii), D - (i)
• D. A - (ii), B - (iii), C - (i), D - (iv)

Answer 1

The correct option is D A - (ii), B - (iii), C - (i), D - (iv)

Chondrocyte plays important role in cartilage formation.

Osteoclast and osteoblast play important role in bone remodelling.

The osteoblast is responsible for the formation of bone while osteoclast is a destructive cell that is known as bone eating cells. When osteoblast become trapped in the matrix that they secrete, they become osteocytes.

Osteocyte helps in maintenance of bone.

So, the correct answer is option D.
