Answer:

The bone resorption will increase

Step-by-step explanation:

The estrogen normally regulates the amount of osteoclast and their apoptosis, decrease estrogen will lead to decrease in death rate or apoptosis of osteoclast and this will lead to more bone resorption

Function of osteoclast :

These are the bone cells that absorbs the bone and work with the osteoblast(bone cells that build the bone) for maintaining structure of the bone.
