Patient with maxillary RPD with missing 16,17,18 and 25,27 and 26 is badly decayed and a non-restorable tooth so the dentist decided to extract it what is the change in the classification after extraction:

A- class I

B- class II modification I 

C- class II modification II 

D- Class III

ACCORDING TO KENNEDY APPLIGATE Class I, II and III RPDs Kennedy classification is governed by the most posterior edentulous area that is being restored.
For example, a maxillary arch were missing teeth #1, 3, 7-10 and 16, the RPD would be Kennedy Class III mod 1.
It would not be Class I, because missing third molars are generally not restored in an RPD.
