• A. A - 4, B - 1, C - 3, D - 2, E - 5
• B. A - 5, B - 3, C - 1, D - 4, E - 2
• C. A - 3, B - 4, C - 2, D - 5, E - 1
• D. A - 2, B - 5, C - 3, D - 1, E - 4

Answer 1

Answer: (E)

A - 5, B - 4, C - 1, D - 2, E - 5

• The spinal nerves are part of the peripheral nervous system. The spinal nerve emerges from the spinal column through an opening (intervertebral foramen) between adjacent vertebrae.
• These are grouped into the corresponding cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral and coccygeal regions of the spine.
  
• The sacral nerves are the five pairs of spinal nerves that exit the sacrum at the lower end of the vertebral column.
• The thoracic nerves are the twelve spinal nerves emerging from the thoracic vertebrae.
• The coccygeal nerve is the 31st pair of spinal nerves. It does not divide into a medial and lateral branch. It is distributed to the skin over the back of the coccyx.
• The cervical nerves are the spinal nerves from the cervical vertebrae. They are 7 in number.
• The lumbar nerves are the five spinal nerves emerging from the lumbar vertebrae.
• They are divided into posterior and anterior divisions.
  

Therefore correct combination is A - 5, B - 4, C - 1, D - 2, E - 5.

Hence option E is correct.
