What is the most likely site of oral cancer?

Tongue
Cheek
Gums
Roof of mouth

The correct answer is: Tongue

Oral cancer can occur in any part of the mouth, but the tongue is the most common site for oral cancer. This is because the tongue has a high amount of blood supply, making it more vulnerable to exposure to carcinogens. The other options, while also possible sites for oral cancer, are not as commonly affected as the tongue. The cheek and gums do not have as much blood supply as the tongue, and the roof of the mouth is not as frequently exposed to irritants and carcinogens. Therefore, while all of these sites can develop oral cancer, the tongue is the most likely site.
