C) Neisseria meningitides.

Accepted Answer

Streptococcus mutans is a type of bacteria that is commonly found in the mouth and is known to cause tooth decay. It produces acid that erodes tooth enamel and causes cavities. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Neisseria meningitidis, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Haemophilus influenzae are not typically associated with tooth decay.
