Answer:

The correct answer will be option-C

Step-by-step explanation:

Osteons are the cylindrical structures which run parallel to the long axis of the bone.

The osteons are made up of the living osteocytes and mineral matrix which supplies blood. These osteon structures are made up of the Volkmann canals (VC) and the Haversian canals (HC) which makes osteon several millimetre long.

Since in the given question, the structure shown shows the canals helps identify the structure as osteon and is the correct answer.
