The answer is the third one (or C): bone.

Explanation for each option:

  • Blood: While calcium is present in the blood, it constitutes only a small fraction of the body's total calcium. Blood calcium is crucial for various physiological functions, including muscle contraction and nerve transmission, but it is not where most of the calcium is stored.
  • Liver: The liver does not store significant amounts of calcium. Its primary functions include detoxification, protein synthesis, and the production of biochemicals necessary for digestion.
  • Bone: Most of the calcium in the body is found in the bones. Bones act as a reservoir for calcium, which is essential for maintaining bone structure and strength. Approximately 99% of the body's calcium is stored in the bones and teeth.
  • Intestines: The intestines are involved in the absorption of calcium from the diet, but they do not store calcium.

Summary: Most of the calcium in the body is found in the bones, where it plays a critical role in maintaining bone structure and strength.
