Correct answer: D — A single bilateral edentulous area anterior to the remaining natural teeth that crosses the midline
Kennedy Class IV is a single bilateral edentulous area located anterior to the remaining natural teeth that crosses the midline. It is the only Kennedy class that does not allow modification spaces (because any posterior edentulous areas would reclassify the case as Class I, II, or III). Class IV RPDs must provide anterior tooth replacement with adequate aesthetics and are typically tooth-supported bilaterally by the remaining posterior teeth.
