In 2015, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services issued a recommendation for the optimal fluoride level that should be in drinking water to prevent tooth decay.

This new recommendation is for a single level of 0.7 milligrams of fluoride per liter of water, opposed to the 0.7 to 1.2 ppm.

Fluorine and flouride is same or different? please tell me.

Fluorides with more than 1.5 mg/l would lead to mottling of teeth and less than 1 mg/l will cause tooth decay due to cavity formation. Ideal concentration is 1 mg/l to 1.2 mg/l. Hence option A is correct.
