With aging, bones can become more brittle. This brittleness is due to which factor?

a) a greater rate of bone resorption results in loss of calcium salts from the bone matrix

d) most elderly people are deficient in vitamins A and D, and also in calcium
e) for women and men, the complete loss of estrogen means that all older individuals will develop osteoporosis
