Answer:

Your answer is option A

Explanation: The gingival tissue in the oral cavity is the most important tissue of the oro-facial region for dental professionals to know and understand. The gingiva forms a protective covering over the other components of the periodontium and is well adapted to protect against mechanical insults.
