A
Step 1
B
Step 2
C
Step 5
D
Step 8
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -This growth within a tissue is called interstitial growth. Most of the chondrocytes in the zone of calcified matrix, the zone closest to the diaphysis, are dead because the matrix around them has calcified, restricting nutrient diffusion.

Detailed explanation-2: -These cells progress to the hypertrophic zone, in which they enlarge and form ordered columns. During this stage the chondrocytes become surrounded by extracellular matrix that gradually becomes mineralized in the zone of provisional calcification.

Detailed explanation-3: -Reserve Zone. Storage site for lipids, glycogen, proteoglycan. Proliferative Zone. Proliferating chondrocytes leading to longitudinal growth. Hypertrophic Zone. Site of chondrocyte maturation. Primary Spongiosa. Site for mineralization to form woven bone. Secondary Spongiosa. 08-May-2022
