Explanation:

First Question (Epiphyseal Plate)

The epiphyseal plate (growth plate) is responsible for bone length growth during development. When bone growth in length stops, the epiphyseal plate is replaced by bone (epiphyseal line). So, its presence means bone length is still increasing. Other options: Bone diameter growth is via appositional growth (not related to epiphyseal plate), and the plate’s presence doesn’t mean bone is dead.

Phalanges are the bones of the fingers (hand phalanges) and toes (foot phalanges). Hyoid is a neck bone, scapula is the shoulder blade, clavicle is the collarbone, patella is the kneecap—none are finger/toe bones.

Answer:

B. bone length is increasing
