Solution

The correct option is C Molar
The type of teeth in the image is a molar. Humans have four types of teeth i.e., incisors, canines, premolars and molars.
Incisors are present at the front of the mouth and are used for cutting and biting the food into small chewable pieces.
Canines are sharp and are used for tearing the flesh.
Premolars and molars do not have a sharp surface like the incisors and canines. They have a flat surface with the function to chew, crush and grind food.
