B

C

D
Nothing will happen
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The consequences of tooth loss are often described as a “domino effect.” That’s because losing just one tooth can lead to additional tooth loss-and it can happen fairly quickly. When a tooth is missing, it creates a gap between the neighboring teeth-not just above the gum, but in the root space as well.

Detailed explanation-2: -When one tooth is missing, the surrounding teeth have nothing to lean on and will tilt toward the open space. This leads to crooked teeth that are harder to clean properly and can result in tooth decay or further tooth loss.

Detailed explanation-3: -Missing baby teeth is very rare and only seen in less than one percent of the population. If a baby tooth is missing, it is very likely that the permanent tooth to take its place is also missing.
