Answer:

its C! because after a fracture occurs, the body acts to protect the injured area, and forms a protective blood clot and callus around the fracture. New "threads" of bone cells start to grow on both sides of the fracture line. These threads grow toward each other. The fracture closes and the callus is absorbed.
