  2. 12-13 years (eruption)
  3. 10-11 years
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. 14-16 years (root completion)

  • A. Correct. While the second permanent molar typically erupts around 12-13 years, root completion/formation finishes later, around 14-16 years.
  • B. 12-13 years corresponds to the eruption timing of the second molar, not root completion (formation finishing).
  • C. 10-11 years is too early for either eruption or root completion of the second molar.
