Answer:

c. it is cartilage that will eventually be replaced by bone

Step-by-step explanation:

A g rowth plate is an area located near the ends of long bones, is made up cartilage where new bone grows. This happens in children and teens and is replaced by bones when the growth process is finished.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
