B Correct answer
Explanation

Teeth develop from ectoderm (specifically oral ectoderm) interacting with neural crest-derived mesenchyme. The enamel organ forms from ectoderm, while dentin and pulp form from mesenchyme. Endoderm gives rise to internal organs, and 'memoderm' appears to be a misspelling.
