Solution

The correct option is B Olfactory nerve
The olfactory nerve is the first cranial nerve. It is a sensory nerve allowing the sense of smell. The olfactory receptor neurons of the olfactory nerve are located in the olfactory mucosa of the upper parts of the nasal cavity. The olfactory nerves are connected with the olfactory bulb and the olfactory tract, which are components of the part of the brain associated with the sense of smell. Thus the correct answer is option B.
