The answer is the second one: spongy bone.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Compact bone: This type of bone is dense and forms the outer layer of bone structures. It is not arranged in a grid-work pattern but rather in tightly packed structures called osteons or Haversian systems.

  2. Spongy bone: Also known as cancellous or trabecular bone, spongy bone is characterized by a porous, grid-work pattern. It is found at the ends of long bones and in the interior of other bones, providing structural support and flexibility.

  3. Soft bone: This is not a standard term used in anatomy to describe bone types. Bones are generally categorized as either compact or spongy.

  4. Trabecular bone: This is another term for spongy bone, emphasizing the trabeculae, which are the small, beam-like structures that form the grid-work pattern.

In summary, the type of bone arranged in a grid-work pattern is spongy bone, also known as trabecular bone.
