Only autografts have this property.

Osteoconductive
Osteoinductive
Osteogenic
Neuroconductive

The correct answer is: Osteogenic

This property refers to the ability to produce new and healthy bone tissue in a graft site. While all the other options may have some effects on bone growth, only osteogenic properties are a defining characteristic of autografts. Osteoconductive refers to the ability to provide a scaffold for bone growth, osteoinductive refers to the ability to stimulate bone formation, and neuroconductive refers to the ability to promote nerve growth. However, none of these properties are exclusive to autografts and can also be found in other types of grafts, such as allografts or synthetic materials.
