Answer 1

After replantation of a tooth with a mature apex, surface, internal, and replacement resorption can occur. Hence, option A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

After replantation of a tooth with a mature apex, the types of resorption that can occur are (a) Surface resorption, (b) Internal resorption, and (c) Replacement resorption. These types of resorption can happen due to various factors such as trauma or inflammation. Surface resorption involves the resorption of the outer surface of the tooth, internal resorption occurs within the tooth structure itself, and replacement resorption involves the replacement of the root structure with bone.
