detailed solution
Correct option is B
We use our teeth to break down the food mechanically into smaller pieces. Each tooth is rooted in a separate pocket and varies in appearance as well as function. Incisors are the 8 teeth in the front which are used for cutting and biting. Canines are the piercing and tearing teeth and are 4 in number. Chewing and grinding is done by our molars which are 20 in number.
