The correct option is B Vagus
B. Vagus
Reason: The Vagus nerve is a mixed nerve. It originates from the side of the medulla oblongata and has 5 branches known as Superior laryngeal, Recurrent laryngeal, Cardiac, Pneumogastric, and Depressor. It is the tenth pair of cranial nerves, supplying the heart, lungs, upper digestive tract, and other organs of the chest and abdomen. So the correct option is B.
