A
osteoblasts
B
osteoclasts
C
osteocytes
D
osseus
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Osteoblasts are cells responsible for the secretion and deposition of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) into the extracellular matrix during bone formation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Osteoprogenitor cells are the ‘stem’ cells of bone, and are the source of new osteoblasts. Osteoblasts, lining the surface of bone, secrete collagen and the organic matrix of bone (osteoid), which becomes calcified soon after it has been deposited. As they become trapped in the organic matrix, they become osteocytes.
