Solution

The correct option is C Premolars
Primary dentition can be divided into three categories in each jaw – four incisors, two canines, and four molars, making a total of 10 teeth in one jaw. As you can see, primary dentition has no premolars. Permanent teeth, however, have 2 incisors, 1 canine, 2 premolars and 3 molars in each quadrant, making a total of 16 teeth in one jaw.
