The answer is the second one: red bone marrow.

Explanation:

  • Red bone marrow: This is the primary site of blood cell formation, a process known as hematopoiesis. It produces red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), and platelets (thrombocytes). Red bone marrow is found in the flat bones such as the pelvis, sternum, and the ends of long bones like the femur.

  • Yellow bone marrow: This primarily stores fat and does not play a significant role in blood cell formation under normal conditions. However, in cases of severe blood loss or certain diseases, yellow bone marrow can convert back to red bone marrow to increase blood cell production.

Summary: The site of blood cell formation is red bone marrow.
