Answer:
Option 4 - Calcium
Explanation:
The <em>divalent cation </em>called <em>calcium</em> is needed to provide additional support to the bone matrix.
Calcium is considered one of the most <em>important components</em> in bone development. It helps in the formation as well as maintenance of bone. During the modeling and remodeling process of bones, calcium facilitates the formation of <em>semi-hard new tissues</em> which leads to the formation of new bone which is very hard.
Due to this reason, calcium is needed to create extra bone matrix support.
