Solution

The correct option is B By palate
  • The oral and nasal cavities lie near the body midline, inferior and medial to the orbital cavities, anterior to the pharynx and medial to the infratemporal fossa.
  • They are separated from one another by the palate.
  • Each cavity has an entrance and an exit. Hence, Nasal chambers and buccal cavity are separated by the palate.
So, the correct answer is 'By palate'.
