bone marrow is:
○ typically found in short bones
○ located inside the bone cavity
○ yellow in children
○ red in adults

Explanation:

• For "typically found in short bones": Bone marrow is found in various bones (long, flat, irregular, short), not typically just short bones.
• For "located inside the bone cavity": Bone marrow is indeed located within the medullary cavity (bone cavity) of bones.
• For "yellow in children": Children have mostly red bone marrow (for hematopoiesis), yellow marrow is more in adults.
• For "red in adults": Adults have more yellow marrow, red marrow is in specific locations (like flat bones) in adults. So the correct statement is "located inside the bone cavity".

Answer:

B. located inside the bone cavity
