Explanation
Answer: B - The instrument that orientates the maxillary arch to an anatomic reference point or points is the facebow. The device orientates casts to the opening axis of the articulator. Arbitrary and kinematic are two methods used to reference a point or points. The arbitrary method of anatomic referencing uses anatomic points of reference to approximate the hinge axis. The kinematic method uses the kinematic facebow to establish the hinge axis.
