Solution

The answer is the second one (or B): body of the mandible.

Explanation for each option: a. Coronoid process of the mandible: This is a projection on the mandible, but it does not form the angle of the mandible. b. Body of the mandible: Correct. The body of the mandible, along with the ramus, forms the angle of the mandible. c. Condylar process of the mandible: This is part of the mandible that articulates with the skull, but it does not form the angle of the mandible. d. Mandibular notch: This is a depression between the coronoid process and the condylar process, and it does not form the angle of the mandible.

Summary: The ramus and the body of the mandible make up the angle on the mandible.
