B
ossification
C
resorption
D
bone modification
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The process by which a cartilage intermediate is formed and replaced by bone cells is called endochondral ossification.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cartilage is progressively eroded and replaced by hardened bone, extending towards the epiphysis. A perichondrium layer surrounding the cartilage forms the periosteum, which generates sperm cells that then go on to make a collar that encircles the outside of the bone and remodels the medullary cavity on the inside.

Detailed explanation-3: -The process of bone formation is called osteogenesis or ossification. After progenitor cells form osteoblastic lines, they proceed with three stages of development of cell differentiation, called proliferation, maturation of matrix, and mineralization.
