Explanation:

Calcium is a crucial mineral in the body. The skeletal system (bones) serves as a major storage site for calcium. Approximately 99% of the body's calcium is in the bones and teeth (which are part of the skeletal system - teeth are considered part of the skeletal system in a broader sense as they are mineralized structures). Among the given options, 98 percent is the closest value.
