Solution

The correct option is B
Milk teeth

Milk teeth or deciduous teeth are the first set of teeth in humans. They are so called because these teeth resemble the colour of milk and are whiter than adult teeth. The first few milk teeth appear right in the middle of the lower jaw. These fall out and are replaced by permanent teeth between the age of six to twelve.
