More about Premolars and molars.

• Molars - The most posterior teeth in the mouth are the molars. They have broader and flatter surfaces with 4-5 cusps.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer will be option c) (c) Premolars and Molars.

Herbivores must efficiently and thoroughly grind their food, which is many cases is hard and abrasive. The addition of hard enamel ridges to the teeth improves their grinding action. These teeth are often either lophodont or selenodont. Lophodont teeth have elongated ridges called lophs that run between cusps. Lophs may be oriented antero-posteriorly, or they run between labial and lingual parts of the tooth. The molars and premolars of tapir (Tapiridae), manatees (Trichechidae), and many rodents are lophodont. Extreme lophodont is seen is modern elephants (Elephantidae) and some rodents.
