Answer 1

The correct option is B

1- Premolar, 2- Canine

1. Premolars: They do not have a sharp biting surface like the incisors and canines. They have a flat biting surface with the function of tearing and crushing food.

2. Canines: They are situated at the ‘corners’ of the dental arches. They have a sharp, pointed biting surface. Their function is to tear food.
