The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Odontoblasts**: Odontoblasts are specialized cells located in the dental pulp of teeth. Their primary function is to produce dentin, which is a hard tissue that forms the bulk of a tooth beneath the enamel. 2. **Identifying the Options**: The question provides four options: - A. Dentine - B. Cement - C. Enamel - D. Periodontal membrane 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Option A: Dentine** - This is the primary product of odontoblasts. They secrete dentin matrix and are responsible for its formation. - **Option B: Cement** - Cementum is produced by cementoblasts, not odontoblasts. - **Option C: Enamel** - Enamel is produced by ameloblasts, which are different from odontoblasts. - **Option D: Periodontal membrane** - This structure is associated with the supporting tissues of the tooth and is not produced by odontoblasts. 4. **Conclusion**: Since odontoblasts are specifically responsible for the production of dentin, the correct answer to the question is **Option A: Dentine**. ---
