Solution

The correct option is A 2 I, 1 C, 2 P, 3 M
  • The permanent or adult dental formula of humans is I22,C11,P22,M33 = 88(88×2= 1616 = 32).
  • This is the notation format for dental formulas in mammalogy. It shows the number of incisor 2, canine 1, premolar 2 molar 3 in each half upper and half lower jaw with 32 teeth in a buccal cavity.

    Thus, the correct answer is option B.
