Answer to Question 2

D
Teriparatide, a form of parathyroid hormone (PTH) produced by recombinant DNA technology, promotes bone formation by increasing the activity of osteoblasts.
Bisphosphonates, such as ibandronate, risedronate, and alendronate, suppress resorption of bone through inhibition of osteoclasts.
