Correct answer: B. Recurrent apthae

  • A. Herpes
  • B. Recurrent apthae
  • C. Pemphigus
  • D. Pyogenic granuloma

Explanation

Herpes, pemphigus, and pyogenic granuloma can involve the gingiva, whereas recurrent aphthae usually affect non-keratinized mucosa such as the labial or buccal mucosa and soft palate. The gingiva is therefore an unusual site for aphthous ulcers.
