C Correct answer
Explanation

It is the material from which the teeth and tusks of animals are made. It is also called as enamel. It covers the surface of the tooth or tusk, which receives the most wear such as the tip or the crown. Ameloblasts are responsible for the formation of enamel and are lost after the enamel process is complete.
