Correct answer: (A) 45 wt% SiO₂ and approximately 5:1 molar Ca:P
Explanation
The 45S5 designation identifies a silicate bioactive glass containing forty-five weight percent silica, with its calcium-to-phosphorus molar ratio approximately five. It is not a hydroxyapatite-rich mixture. Therefore A matches the source’s composition description.
