The bone cells are present in a hard matrix. The primary tissue of bone, osseous tissue, is hard and lightweight made up of salts of calcium and phosphate. The matrix is deposited in the form of concentric layers of lamellae around a central aversion canal. The bone cells occupy small spaces between the concentric layers of the matrix. It provides rigidity and compressive strength, making bones hard and capable of supporting the weight of the body and absorbing impacts. The mineral component accounts for the hardness and strength of bones, enabling them to withstand mechanical stress.
The correct option is (b)calcium and phosphorus
