The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Gnawing Teeth**: Gnawing teeth are specialized teeth that are adapted for biting and chewing food. These teeth are particularly prominent in certain groups of mammals. 2. **Identifying the Groups**: The question provides four options: - Rodentia - Lagomorpha - Both A and B - Folivora 3. **Characteristics of Rodentia**: Rodents are characterized by their continuously growing incisors. These teeth are used for gnawing, which is essential for their feeding habits. 4. **Characteristics of Lagomorpha**: Lagomorphs, which include rabbits and hares, also possess incisors that are similar to those of rodents. They too have gnawing teeth that help them in their feeding. 5. **Analyzing Folivora**: Folivora, which includes sloths, do not possess gnawing teeth like rodents and lagomorphs. Instead, they have different adaptations for their diet. 6. **Conclusion**: Since both Rodentia and Lagomorpha have gnawing teeth, the correct answer to the question is "Both A and B." **Final Answer**: Both A and B (Rodentia and Lagomorpha) ---
