Answer:

C) Cancellous bone

Step-by-step explanation:

Bones in the body are composed of 2 types of tissues:

1. Compact bone: Compact bone is also called as cortical bone, a dense bone. It is hard outer layer that is strong, dense and durable. Compact bone makes up almost 80% of adult bone mass.

2. Cancellous bone: The bone contains a network of rod-like structures. They are less dense and more flexible than compact bones.

Option A, B and D belong to one type of bone.

Thus C is the answer
