Solution

The correct option is C Molars
Molars are the last set of teeth found at the back of the mouth. The purpose of molars is to chew and grind down food into smaller particles. After eating the food, the tongue pushes it back into the mouth towards the molars so that the food can be ground into small, easy-to-swallow pieces.
So, the correct option is D.
