Bones offer unique evidence about the history of adaptations the human body has undergone.

Which sentence from the article provides the BEST support to the statement above?

(A) Numbers in biology help us discover new insights, so much so that researchers have set up a database and a handbook of many "bionumbers" across many species, collected from the scientific literature.

(B) Feeding this model with data on the proxy network, we calculated that 23 trillion connections exist in the osteocyte network of the human body.

(C) We can use this information to understand how bones have evolved to become the self-detecting and
self-regulating biomaterial we own; that's something that can't be done with brain fossils.

(D) In the meantime, the next time you stand up, walk around or do weights, think about how the network of osteocytes in your bones are responding to the stresses and strains you are putting it through.
