Final answer:

Calcitonin inhibits osteoblast activity, which is incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

The incorrect match with its function is:

C) calcitonin — inhibits osteoblast activity

In reality, calcitonin inhibits osteoclast activity and stimulates calcium uptake by bones. It plays a role in regulating blood calcium levels by promoting bone formation.
