E. All of the above are correct functions
Bone acts as levers in the body that conducts movement via the attached muscles. Bone also serves a protection function of internal organs (e.x. skull protects the brain, vertebra protects the spinal cord). Hematopoiesis occurs in the bone marrow of the bone.
