NO
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cows can’t bite because they don’t have top front teeth. They may “gum” you, but they can’t bite you. Cattle do have molars on the upper and lower jaw, but their incisors are only the lower jaw. As a cow gets older, their teeth shows more wear.

Detailed explanation-2: -In place of the top incisors, there is a hard leathery pad (known as the “dental pad”). In addition, cattle have a relatively immobile upper lip (compared to goats and sheep). Because of this unique oral anatomy, a cow uses its tongue to grasp a clump of grass and then bite it off.

Detailed explanation-3: -Tooth Types and Location There are three types of teeth found in the bovine: incisors, premolars and molars.
