  1. A. it is formed during bonding between composite material and enamel.
  2. B. it is formed by resin tags extending into the microporosities of enamel formed after etching.

  4. D. it is formed by resin tags extending into dentinal tubules.
  5. E. it is formed by resin binding with the smear layer and smear plugs.
