Correct answer: B. Lingual nerve
- A. Mylohyoid nerve
- B. Lingual nerve
- C. Auriculotemporal nerve
- D. Inferior alveolar nerve

The lingual nerve loops under and then crosses the submandibular, or Wharton's, duct, making it vulnerable during submandibular duct surgery. The mylohyoid and inferior alveolar nerves do not hook around this duct.
