Solution
The correct option is C Abducens
The abducens nerve innervates the lateral rectus eye muscle that turns the eye outward away from the midline. The oculomotor nerve serves the superior, inferior, and medial rectus muscles and inferior oblique muscles.The facial nerve serves taste buds, facial muscles, and the associated glands. Spinal accessory nerves are not cranial nerves. These are the part of peripheral nervous system.So, the correct answer is option C.
