Solution

The correct option is C Upper incisors
Usually in mammals tusks are enlarged canine teeth, but in elephants, they are elongated upper incisors and are essentially no different from other teeth. One-third of the tusk is hidden from view, embedded deep in the elephant’s head.
So the correct answer is option B.
