Solution

The correct option is D Homodont dentition
Mammals have some key characteristic features such as four-chambered hearts, seven cervical vertebrae, muscular diaphragm, mammary gland and the presence of placenta. Mammals have thecodont teeth which mean that the teeth fit in a socket of the jawbone. The teeth are heterodont which means that there are different types of teeth. Mammals possess heterodont and not homodont.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
