Answer:

Answer is E. Mandibular canine.

Explanation:

Note the meaning of the following terms.

* Mandibular tooth - This is the tooth found at the lower jaw of the mouth. This means that the mandibular canine is the canine found at the lower jaw of the mouth.

* Maxillary tooth is the tooth at the upper jaw of the mouth.

* Bifurcated root means the root of the tooth which splits into two forks.

In summary, Mandibular canine is the canine of the lower jaw broader than than the mandibular incisors but slimmer to the maxillary canine.
