What function does yellow bone marrow serve?

Answer
A
connects muscle to bone
B
acts as a factory for blood cells
C
serves as a storage location for fats the body needs
D

Yellow bone marrow primarily stores fat, which the body can use as an energy reserve. Red bone marrow is the type that produces blood cells, so the blood-cell factory description does not fit yellow marrow.
