A. Front
B. Back
C. Left
D. Right

Hint: The tongue is the voluntary muscular organ present in the mouth. It contains many types of taste buds which have taste receptors. It helps us to taste the food. The front part contains more taste buds to taste the sweetness of the food. The back part is sensitive for the bitter taste.

Complete answer:
The mouth contains the muscular part which is responsible for detecting the taste of the food material. It is known as tongue. It contains many taste buds. The tongue mainly contains four types of taste buds: sour, sweet, salty and bitter. The human tongue is mainly divided into two parts: a pharyngeal part at the back and an oral part at the front. The left and right parts are separated by the vertical section of fibrous tissue that makes a groove on the tongue surface.
The taste buds are present throughout the tongue. The tip of the tongue contains the ‘sweet’ taste buds while the ‘bitter’ taste buds are present in the back. The either sides of the front tongue contain ‘salt’ taste buds while the ‘sour’ taste buds are present behind this.
The front part of the tongue contains more taste buds so most of the taste gets detected in the front part of the tongue. The taste buds contain the taste receptors.

Hence, the correct answer is option (A).

Note: It is also known as a sensory organ. The gustatory cells are present on the surface of the tongue. The taste receptors are also present in soft palate, upper esophagus, the cheek and epiglottis. The tongue contains stratified epithelium, with numerous papillae and taste buds. It is a voluntary muscular structure, attached by the frenulum, to the floor of the mouth. The taste buds can be activated by using more or fresher spices and also artificial saliva is beneficial for it.
