Solution

The correct option is C Molars
Molars are the teeth present, total 3 on one side of the upper jaw and respectively 12 in the whole mouth.
These molars develop later in the developmental stages and are not likely to be found in a 2-year child's mouth. The later molars from around the age of 16-20 or may take even longer.

So, the correct answer is 'Molars'.
