The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for the type of cells responsible for forming bone. 2. **Identifying the Options**: The options provided are: - A) Osteoblast - B) Osteoclast - C) Chondroclast - D) Chondroblast 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Osteoblast**: These are the cells that produce new bone material. They are specifically involved in the formation of bone tissue. - **Osteoclast**: These cells are responsible for the dissolution and absorption of bone. They break down bone tissue, which is the opposite of forming it. - **Chondroclast**: These are multinucleated cells that are involved in the absorption of calcified cartilage, not bone. - **Chondroblast**: These cells originate from mesenchymal stem cells and are responsible for forming cartilage, not bone. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the only cells that are responsible for forming bone are the osteoblasts. 5. **Final Answer**: Therefore, the correct answer is **A) Osteoblast**. ---
