Eating more sugar does not necessarily result in more cavities. However, based on the discussion by Dr. Harpp in the previous video segment, there is clearly a link between the two. Which of the following statements describes the relationship between sugar and tooth decay?

A. Excess sugar consumption grinds holes in the teeth, forming cavities.
B. Steptococcus Mutans (s.mutans) bacteria and sugar combine and erode lactic acid in the tooth leading to decay.
C. Excess lactic acid in the mouth produces sucrose molecules that erode tooth enamel causing tooth decay and the formation of cavities.
D. Streptococcus Mutans (s. mutans) bacteria in the mouth converts sugar into lactic acid which erodes tooth enamel leading to cavities.
