Question

mature bones are remodeled throughout life via a process known as endochondral ossification intramembranous ossification interstitial growth appositional growth

Explanation:

Endochondral ossification is for bone formation from cartilage in development. Intramembranous ossification forms bone directly from mesenchymal tissue. Interstitial growth is for cartilage growth from within. Appositional growth is for growth by adding new layers on the surface. Bone remodeling in mature bones occurs via a combination of bone - resorbing and bone - forming cells, and the key process here is related to maintaining bone mass and structure throughout life which is not these growth/ossification processes in the traditional sense of development but rather a continuous turnover. However, if we consider the options given and the context of bone changes over time, none of these exactly describe bone remodeling but among them, the closest conceptually related to bone changes over life is appositional growth as bone remodeling can involve addition of new bone tissue in a way similar to appositional growth.

Answer:

appositional growth
