the ends

Explanation:

To determine which part of a bone contains stored fat, we analyze each option:

• Red bone marrow is involved in blood cell production, not fat storage.
• Cartilage provides cushioning and support, not fat storage.
• Yellow bone marrow is known to store fat (it's mainly composed of fat cells).
• "The ends" (of the bone) have cartilage and spongy bone with red marrow, not fat storage.

So the part of the bone that contains stored fat is yellow bone marrow.

Answer:

yellow bone marrow
