Solution

The correct option is D wisdom tooth
Wisdom tooth is the third molar and the last to erupt on each side of the upper and lower jaws in humans. Most people have four wisdom teeth at the back of the mouth — two on the top, two on the bottom.
Milk teeth are the first set of teeth that develops in an infant. Milk teeth are eventually replaced by permanent teeth.
