Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 12. 

Adult humans normally have 12 molar teeth, with 6 in the upper jaw and 6 in the lower jaw. These include the first, second, and third molars on each side of both jaws. The third molars are commonly known as wisdom teeth, which often erupt later in life or may not appear at all in some individuals. Molars play a crucial role in grinding and chewing food, making them essential for proper digestion and maintaining oral health.
