Correct answer: D. 1st premolar

  • A. Canine
  • B. 3rd molar
  • C. Lateral incisors
  • D. 1st premolar

Explanation

The mandibular first premolar has a strongly lingually inclined crown, reflected by its small, nonfunctional lingual cusp and steep lingual slope. This makes it the classic answer for maximum lingual inclination in the mandibular arch.
