An involute pinion and gear are in mesh. If both have the same size of addendum, then there will be an interference between the

A tip of the gear tooth and flank of pinion
B tip of the pinion and flank of gear
C flanks of both gear and pinion
D tip of both gear and pinion

Correct Answer: tip of the gear tooth and flank of pinion

The phenomenon when the tip of a tooth under cuts the root on its mating gear, is known as interference.
