Multiple choice — select the best answer
✓ Correct answer: C. Enamel Enamel is the highly mineralised surface of the crown, providing resistance against mechanical and chemical damage. Why the other options are incorrect: • Dentine: Dentine lies beneath enamel and is not the outermost surface. • Pulp chamber: The pulp chamber is a deep internal compartment. • Cementum: Cementum coats the root, not the crown. • Periodontal ligament: The periodontal ligament suspends the tooth within its bony socket.
