Solution

The correct option is A Gutta percha resin
Palaquim is the genus of a tree. The latex which is obtained from these trees forms the resin known as Gutta percha resin. There is a very strong binding property between the molecules of this resin. This resin is commonly used as a sealing and adhesive agent. The paste of the resin is used for filling the cavity in the tooth during the procedure of root canal treatment.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
