during growth in bone length, where does cartilage become bone?
in the ossification zone of the growth plate
in the resting zone of the growth plate
at the periosteum
in the diaphysis

Explanation:

During bone - length growth, the process of cartilage turning into bone (ossification) occurs in the ossification zone of the growth plate. The resting zone is where chondrocytes are relatively inactive. The periosteum is involved in bone - diameter growth and repair. The diaphysis is the shaft of the long bone and not the site of cartilage - to - bone conversion during length growth.

Answer:

In the ossification zone of the growth plate
