Correct answer: D — Autogenous bone graft

Autogenous bone graft is the gold standard because it is the only graft material that possesses all three properties required for bone regeneration: osteogenic (contains living bone cells), osteoinductive (contains BMPs and other growth factors), and osteoconductive (provides scaffold). Common donor sites include the mandibular ramus/symphysis, maxillary tuberosity, and iliac crest. Limitations include donor-site morbidity and limited quantity.
