Explanation:

To find a good supporting detail for the topic sentence "You owe your sense of taste to your taste buds", we need a sentence that provides relevant information about taste buds and their role in taste.

• Option A talks about the location of taste buds (roof of mouth) but doesn't directly support how taste buds give the sense of taste.
• Option B is about the deliciousness of sweet things, which is not related to taste buds.
• Option C relates taste to smell, not to taste buds.
• Option D provides a fact about the number of taste buds on the tongue, which supports the idea that taste buds are responsible for the sense of taste by giving a detail about their quantity (implying their importance in taste).

Answer:

D. We have nine thousand taste buds just on the tongue alone
