Osteoclastic activity begins undermining resorption in response to heavy force around 2 weeks. When heavy force is applied to bone, the process of bone remodeling is initiated. Osteoclasts are cells responsible for bone resorption, and they start to break down the bone in response to this force after about 2 weeks. This resorption helps to redistribute forces and allow for adaptation to the new mechanical environment. Options A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not align with the typical timeline of osteoclastic activity in response to heavy force.
