The cranial nerves consist of 12 paired nerves that arise from the brainstem.
The group of cranial nerves controls eyeball movements are Oculomotor, Abducens, Trochlear.
These three cranial nerves carry signals from the brain to control the extraocular muscles.
The oculomotor nerve controls the majority of the muscles.
The trochlear nerve controls the superior oblique muscle, and the abducens nerve controls the lateral rectus muscle.
So, the correct answer is 'Oculomotor, Abducens, Trochlear'.
