both the statements are correct.
one statement talks about the mesial or the distal view and the other talks about the incisal view.

Hi intellidentia,

Thanks for the answer. Can u plss explain why a and why not d?

hi
i may not b able to explain very well but the most plausible explanation fr this could b----------- as they asked abt the distinguishing feature of mand lat inc , the second option doesnt fit much bcz only disto incisal edge is lingual in position not mesial and as they aske d abt jus incisal edge, i feel option no. a is more convincing. hope u got my point.

It should be D as incisal edge is lingual but it does not follow the arch curvature in regard to faciolingual axis the distal is offset if u look in kaplan and wheelers too
