Answer 1

Hint:Gums are the soft underlying tissue that surround teeth in the oral cavity. Strong gums are very important for strong teeth.

Complete answer:
The color of gum is usually coral pink in light skin toned people whereas it can be a little darker with natural pigmentation or melanin secretion. The changes in color of gums, usually increased redness, along with swelling, and tendency to bleed, may be a sign inflammation that may occur due to accumulation of bacterial plaque. The gums can be anatomically divided into marginal, attached and interdental areas based on their presence in the oral cavity. There can be different reasons for bleeding gums such as bleeding disorders, rigorous brushing of teeth, vitamin C deficiency, a type of blood cancer called leukemia, in women the hormonal changes during pregnancy can be a reason.
A person suffering from bleeding gums needs citrus fruit. Citrus fruit is a rich source of vitamin C and a person suffering from bleeding gums must eat food that is rich in vitamin C. Orange, lemon etc. are rich in vitamin C and help prevent or control bleeding gums.

Therefore, from the above explanation, the correct option is (A) Citrus fruit.

Note: Bleeding gums can be an indication that a person is suffering from gingivitis or gum diseases. Bleeding gums can have causes that aren't due to underlying disease. Examples include flossing, teeth brushing, chewing tobacco or cuts/abrasions from foods.
