Answer:

c. Osteoblasts build the bone needed within the epiphyseal line

Explanation:

At epiphyseal plate , bone grows in length . Cartilage present in epiphyseal plate continues to grow by the process of mitosis.Osteoblasts are the bone forming cells which move in and ossify the matrix to form the bone. The chondrocytes begin to degenerate then and the large epiphyseal plate is replaced by a thin epiphyseal line.
