• A. Optic, Abducens, Pathetic
• B. Optic, Oculomotor, Trochlear
• C. Oculomotor, Abducens, Auditory
• D. Oculomotor, Abducens, Trochlear

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Oculomotor, Abducens, Trochlear

• 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'.
