Solution
The correct option is A hard palate
The roof of the buccal cavity is divided into two parts. The anterior portion of the roof is called the hard palate and the posterior portion of the roof is called the soft palate.
Transverse folds called rugae are present in the hard palate. They are supported by bones for holding the food that is under mastication.
The soft palate has a smooth surface and it takes part in swallowing.
The tongue is a muscular flattened structure that consists of taste buds and so can recognise different tastes.
Epiglottis is a cartilaginous flap that prevents the entry of food into the glottis (opening of the windpipe) during swallowing.
