Answer: The bacteria uses the oxygen present in the mouth.

Explanation:

The plaque that is formed in the teeth is a highly anaerobic bacteria but it can sustain in the environment rich in oxygen. The oxygen is used by the bacteria and there is a absence of oxygen in the teeth.

It is formed in between the teeth which needs oxygen to survive and if remains for tooth for a longer period of time then it began to grow without oxygen.

It basically uses the oxygen available in the mouth and makes the condition anaerobic.

Choice C - "vary" is not a word, but it is a mistake and it should be "ovary,"  the answers could be both choice A and C.
