A	True
B	False
C	Either A or B
D	None of the above

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -A Bone Structure and Composition Bone matrix (also known as osteoid) consists of about 33% organic matter (mostly Type I collagen) and 67% inorganic matter (calcium phosphate, mostly hydroxyapatite crystals).

Detailed explanation-2: -The matrix of hard bones contains calcium carbonate (0.06%), calcium phosphate (85.62%), magnesium phosphate (1.75%), calcium fluoride (3.57%) and a small percentage of magnesium sulphate. The main function of bone is to provide shape to the body and protect the vital organs of the body.

Detailed explanation-3: -Bone is comparable to all connective tissues in that it consists of cells and an intercellular substance. In bone, the intercellular matrix consists of collagen fibers and mineral salts, mostly calcium phosphate (85%), but also calcium carbonate (10%), in addition to magnesium and alkali salts (5%).
