Correct answer: B — Squamous cell carcinoma
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) accounts for approximately 90% of all malignant neoplasms of the oral cavity. Major risk factors include tobacco use, alcohol consumption, and HPV infection (especially for oropharyngeal SCC). The most common intraoral sites are the lateral/ventral tongue and floor of the mouth. Early detection is critical for improved survival.
