Solution

The correct option is B Papillae
On the surface of the tongue there are special areas that detect the flavor of the food. These areas are made of very small nodules, called papillae, that form the top surface of the tongue and gives it the rough texture. Between the papillae, at the sides and at the base of the tongue bulblike structures called taste buds are present which are sensory structures.
So, the correct answer is 'Papillae'
