The key nutrients required for the synthesis, maintenance, and repair of bones include:

  • Calcium: Essential for bone formation and maintenance. It is a major component of bone tissue.
  • Phosphorus: Works closely with calcium to build strong bones and teeth.
  • Magnesium: Plays a role in bone structure and is involved in the regulation of calcium levels.
  • Vitamin D: Crucial for calcium absorption and bone growth.

Riboflavin is not directly involved in bone synthesis, maintenance, or repair, so it is not a key nutrient for these processes.

Therefore, the correct answers are:

  • Calcium
  • Phosphorus
  • Magnesium
  • Vitamin D

Explanation for each option:

  • Riboflavin: Incorrect. It is a B vitamin important for energy production but not directly involved in bone health.
  • Calcium: Correct. It is a primary mineral in bone composition.
  • Phosphorus: Correct. It is a critical component of bone mineralization.
  • Magnesium: Correct. It supports bone health and calcium metabolism.
  • Vitamin D: Correct. It facilitates calcium absorption and bone health.
