Answer:

b.Bone remodeling

Step-by-step explanation:

Bone remodeling is also known as bone metabolism is a process in which bones undergo bone resorption where old or mature bines tissue is removed from the skeleton and ossification (formation of new bone tissue).

Bone remodeling is a lifelong process that is influenced by the growth hormone/IGF-1 system that is stimulated when the body increases in size and weight.

Hence, the correct answer is "b.Bone remodeling".
