The metaphysis is the area of the bone that's located between the epiphysis and the diaphysis. In this diagram, the epiphysis is at the top (labeled "Growth Plate"), and the diaphysis is in the middle (labeled "Shaft"). The metaphysis is the wider section of bone between them, which is where you can see the growth plate transitioning into solid bone. This section is labeled as "M." Therefore, the best choice is B.
