Answer:

The correct option is: d. Long bone

Explanation:

In vertebrates, the long bone is one of the five type of bones. Long bones are longer than wide. The endochondral ossification at the epiphyseal plate is responsible for the longitudinal growth of the long bones. The increase in the length of bones is stimulated by the growth hormone which is secreted by the pituitary gland. The long bones include bones of the legs, arms, hands, feet, fingers, toes and collar bone.
