Correct answer: C. Dental sac

  • A. Dental pulp
  • B. Odontoblastic processes

  • D. Reduced dental organ

Ameloblasts are nourished indirectly through the dental sac or follicle, which supplies the developing tooth organ through its vascular connections. The mature enamel itself is avascular, so it cannot provide direct nutrition.
