Answer:

a. Osteogenic cells can differentiate into osteoclasts

Step-by-step explanation:

Osteoblasts are the cells that are formed from osteogenic cells. The osteogenic cells enter the process of bone formation. There is a secretion of organic compounds and salts to form osteoblast. Osteoclasts are the very large cells that are formed when many monocytes fuse together and are concentrated in endosteum. Osteoclasts are the cells responsible for bone resorption.
