bone marrow

C

D
sternum and spine
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Red blood cells are formed in the red bone marrow of bones. Stem cells in the red bone marrow are called hemocytoblasts. They give rise to all of the formed elements in blood. If a stem cell commits to becoming a cell called a proerythroblast, it will develop into a new red blood cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -Red bone marrow contains blood stem cells that can become red blood cells, white blood cells, or platelets. Yellow bone marrow is made mostly of fat and contains stem cells that can become cartilage, fat, or bone cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -The most common site of blood cell production is the spongy tissue inside of your bones called bone marrow. Hematopoiesis that occurs in your bone marrow is called medullary hematopoiesis. Blood cells get made in your bone marrow and released into your bloodstream.

Detailed explanation-4: -In humans, hematopoiesis begins in the yolk sac and transitions into the liver temporarily before finally establishing definitive hematopoiesis in the bone marrow and thymus. Experiments with human embryos confirm observations in the hemangioblast, a common precursor for endothelial and hematopoietic cells.
