Solution

The correct option is C Tongue and roof of buccal cavity
Tastebud contains the taste receptor cells, which are also known as gustatory cells. Taste buds are found in a distributed array on the tongue surface and are innervated by cranial nerves that convey taste information to the brain. The taste receptors are located around the small structures known as papillae found on the upper surface of the tongue, soft palate, and upper surface of the buccal cavity.
So the correct answer is 'Tongue and roof of buccal cavity'.
