Solution

The correct option is A Front
The taste buds for "sweet" are on the tip of the tongue; the "salt" taste buds are on either side of the front of the tongue; "sour" taste buds are behind this; and "bitter" taste buds are way in the back.
Most of the taste gets detected in the front part of the tongue because most of the taste buds are present in the front region of the tongue.
So, the correct answer is 'Front'.
