A) -10 degrees.
B) -15 degrees.
C) -20 degrees.
D) -5 degrees.
B
Explanation: A) To obtain a radiograph with an accurate representation of the mandibular incisor, the central ray of the x-ray beam should be directed toward the imaginary bisector between the long axis of the canine and the plane of the image receptor in the vertical dimension at -15 degrees.
