The best suction device for oropharyngeal suctioning is:

Silicone catheter
Whistle tip catheter
Yankauer suction device
None of the above

Explanation

Answer: C-A Yankauer suction device is the best choice for oropharyngeal suctioning.

A silicone catheter does not exist. A whistle tip catheter is the most commonly used catheter but the Yankauer section device is the best choice. It is frequently referred to as the tonsil suction device. Insertion is easy with the rigid shape. The rounded distal tip reduces trauma to the cavity.
