What forms the secondary palate?

Medial nasal prominences
Lateral palatine processes
Maxillary prominences
Nasal septum

The correct answer is: Maxillary prominences

The other options are incorrect because the secondary palate is formed from the merging of the two lateral palatine processes. The medial nasal prominences contribute to the formation of the primary palate, while the nasal septum forms the middle part of the nose and does not play a role in the formation of the palate. Choice A and B may also be considered incorrect because they do not fully encompass the merging of the palatine processes, while choice D is not directly involved in the formation of the secondary palate.
