The diagram used for charting teeth includes 20 primary teeth and 32 permanent teeth. Primary teeth are the first set of teeth that erupt in a child's mouth, and there are 20 of these (10 in the top jaw and 10 in the bottom). Permanent teeth replace primary teeth as children grow and develop, and there are 32 of these (16 in the top jaw and 16 in the bottom). Therefore, choice C is correct as it provides the correct numbers for both primary and permanent teeth.
