Which epiphyseal plate zone contains dying and deteriorating chondrocytes?

The correct answer is calcification zone.  

A hyaline cartilage plate in the metaphysis at each terminal of a long bone is known as the epiphyseal plate or the growth plate. It is the section of a long bone where the development of new bone occurs.  

The epiphyseal plate exhibits a very specific morphology in possessing a zonal arrangement. One of the zones is the zone of calcification, in this, chondrocytes goes through the process of apoptosis and cartilaginous matrix starts to calcify.
