Solution

The correct option is A 20
Humans, like other mammals, are diphyodont, meaning that they develop two sets of teeth. Among deciduous (primary) teeth, ten are found in the maxilla (upper jaw) and ten in the mandible (lower jaw), for a total of 20. The dental formula for primary teeth is 2.1.2/2.1.2.
