- A. Enters the skull through the foramen ovale
- B. Supplies the superolateral surface of the ipislateral cerebral hemisphere
- C. Runs a subdural course within the cranial cavity
- D. Gives an interior branch which runs deep to the pterion

The middle meningeal artery enters through the foramen spinosum and runs between the dura and skull, not subdurally. Its anterior branch passes deep to the pterion, making option d correct despite the apparent typo ‘interior’ for ‘anterior’.
