 # The main growth site for mandible is:

A. Condyle 

B. Angle

C. Symphysis 

D. Body

The correct answer is A. Condyle.

The mandibular condyle is the main growth site for the mandible. The condyle is a specialized growth center that contributes to both the length and width of the mandible. The condyle grows through endochondral bone formation, which involves the transformation of cartilage into bone tissue. The growth of the condyle is regulated by various factors such as growth hormones, growth factors, and mechanical stimuli.

While the other parts of the mandible also contribute to its overall growth and development, the condyle is the primary growth site for the mandible.

Therefore, the correct answer is A, the condyle.
