Correct answer: C. Trigeminal
- A. Occulomotor
- B. Trochlear
- C. Trigeminal
- D. Ophthalmic
Explanation
The lateral wall of the cavernous sinus contains cranial nerves III, IV, and the ophthalmic and maxillary divisions of V. The mandibular division does not enter it, so “trigeminal” is an imprecise label for the exception intended here.
