Answer
(3) Masticate the food
Solution
Enamel is the hardest substance in the human body and covers the crown of the tooth.
As per NCERT, the hard chewing surface of the teeth, made up of enamel, helps in the mastication of food.
Bolus is formed by the tongue and saliva, not by enamel; dentine gives the basic shape to the tooth.
The role of enamel is to masticate (chew) the food.
