Solution

The correct option is A Canines
Carnivorous animals are meat eating animals. They use canines which are long, pointed teeth near the front of their jaw for tearing of flesh. Other teeth along the side of their jaw, molars and premolars, have uneven edges and are used for shearing the food in smaller pieces.
So, option B is the correct answer.
