Answer 1

Answer: (B)

6

Rabbit is a herbivorous animal and depends on cellulose based food. It has no canines in the jaw. The dental formula is 2 0 3 3 / 1 0 2 3 for incisors, canine, premolar and molars in each jaw. The total number of teeth in the upper jaw are 16 and in the lower jaw is 12. The total number of teeth are 28. The number of incisors in the upper jaw is 4 and number of incisors in the lower jaw are 2. Thus a total number of incisors will be 6.

So, the correct answer is option B.
