Fibrodysplasia ossificans is a disease in which fibrous tissue, such as ligaments and tendons, are incorrectly converted to bone when damaged. Over time, the body loses flexibility as joints become locked in one position. Based on this information, which of the following would be unusually high in a person suffering from fibrodysplasia ossificans?

Osteoclast activity in connective tissue

Osteoclast activity in muscle tissue

Osteoblast activity in connective tissue

Osteoblast activity in muscle tissue

I'm confused between A and C because the question suggests it would be something like an osteoblast problem but I thought Fibrodysplasia was an osteoclast disease.
