Solution

The correct option is B papillae
The small projections on the upper surface of the tongue, some of which have taste buds are called papillae. They are of four different types: circumvallate, fungiform, filiform and foliate.


Enamel is the outermost white layer of the tooth. It is the hardest part of the human body.

Pulp cavity is also a part of the tooth and it consists of connective tissues, nerve fibres and blood vessels on one end and connects with the dentine on the other end.

Lingual frenulum is the folded tissue connecting the midline of the tongue to the floor of the mouth.
