To illustrate the formation of blood cells, the best model choice would be the computer-generated model.

Here’s why:

  • Plastic bone: While it can show the structure of bones, it doesn’t effectively illustrate the dynamic process of blood cell formation.

  • Dissected pig: This may provide real biological context; however, it doesn’t specifically highlight the formation of blood cells and might not clearly demonstrate the process.

  • Computer-generated model: This type of model can effectively visualize and simulate the processes involved in hematopoiesis (the formation of blood cells) and can demonstrate the growth, differentiation, and environment of stem cells within the bone marrow.

  • Photograph of a bone: Similar to the plastic bone, this will show bone structure but won't convey the details of blood cell formation.

In summary, a computer-generated model is the best choice for illustrating the complex processes involved in blood cell formation.
