Solution:
Long bones are hard, dense bones that provide strength, structure, and mobility, typically found in the upper and lower extremities (arms and legs). For example, the femur (thigh bone) is a good example of a long bone.
Haemopoiesis(production of blood cells) takes place in epiphyses of long bones.
As long bones are hard and dense they provide support and they function as the synthesis of erythrocyte and leucocyte due to the presence of red bone marrow.
So, the correct answer is 'Support, erythrocyte, and leucocyte synthesis',.
