In primary molars, which cusp has the largest pulp horn?

Mesio buccal
Disto buccal
Lingual
Distal

The correct answer is: Mesio buccal

The Mesio buccal cusp is located in the front inside of a primary molar, and generally has a larger pulp horn compared to the other cusps. The Disto buccal cusp is located in the back inside of the molar and typically has a smaller pulp horn, making it an incorrect choice. The Lingual cusp is located on the back of the tooth and also has a smaller pulp horn, making it an incorrect choice. The Distal cusp is located on the side of the tooth and is not typically associated with a larger pulp horn, making it an incorrect choice as well. Therefore, option A is the correct answer for this question.
