elderly individuals are more likely to break a bone when they fall because many of their bones have become weak due to holes in the spongy bone, which is related to what condition?
(1 point)
ossification
osteoporosis
scoliosis
fracture

Explanation:

Ossification is bone formation, not weakening. Scoliosis is a spinal curvature, not bone porosity. A fracture is a broken bone, the result, not the condition causing weak bones. Osteoporosis is defined by decreased bone density, with holes in spongy bone leading to fragile bones that break easily in falls, matching the description.
