This is a real-world medical entrance exam question, please give the true answer based on the question and selection. Topic name: None, Subject name: Anatomy
All of the following physiological processes occur during the growth at the epiphyseal plate except- 
Select and explain. 
A. Proliferation and hypertrophy, B. Calcification and ossification, C. Vasculogenesis and erosion, D. Replacement of red bone marrow with yellow marrow
D: Replacement of red bone marrow with yellow marrow
Answer: D: Replacement of red bone marrow with yellow marrow 
Explanation: At the epiphyseal growth plate (physis) new bone growth occurs by the process of endochondral ossification i.e. ossification of proliferating cartilage. This process sequentially involves proliferation and hypertrophy of chondrocytes, their calcification, and vascular invasion. Replacement red bone marrow with white marrow is not seen.
