The correct option is A amphibians
Cranial nerves arise from the brain. They come out of cranium through apertures called foramina. They are named so because they pass through various openings of the cranial bones.
In amphibians and fishes, 10 pairs of cranial nerves are present.
In reptiles, birds and mammals, 12 pairs of cranial nerves are present.
