A person breaks a bone and has it set and put in a cast, but it does not heal. What would be the best thing for the doctor to investigate as a possible cause?

The bone marrow, which should have supplied the growing bone with blood

The ligaments, which should have held the ends of the bone together while it mended

The synovial fluid in the bone, which should have carried nutrients to the growing bone

The osteoblasts, which should have been building the new bone
