Explanation by: Official MCQ Buddy

Enamel is the hardest substance in the human body. It covers the outer layer of the teeth and is highly mineralized, consisting mainly of hydroxyapatite (calcium phosphate).

  • Bone (B) and Dentine (D) are also hard but not as strong as enamel.
  • Nail (C) is made of keratin, which is much softer compared to enamel.

Thus, tooth enamel is the hardest substance in the human body.
