  2. Facial proximal
  3. Lingual proximal
  4. Gingival proximal

Correct answer: D. Gingival proximal

The gingival floor (proximal gingival margin) is the most common site for secondary caries in Class II restorations due to poor access for preparation, condensation, and polishing, microleakage susceptibility, and difficulty for patients to clean.
