Answer 1

The correct option is C Diastema is present between incisors & premolars

Diastema: When there is a gap between the teeth, then this situation is known as diastema.
According to the dental formulae $\frac{2033}{1023}$, canines are absent in both of the jaws.
So, diastema is present between the incisors and premolars.
