Solution
The correct option is D Auditory
The vestibulocochlear nerve is the eighth cranial nerve. It is comprised of two parts – vestibular fibres and cochlear fibres. It transmits sound and equilibrium (balance) information from the inner ear to the brain. The vestibulocochlear nerve splits into two large divisions: the cochlear nerve and the vestibular nerve. The organ of Corti is enclosed in the cochlea which is deeply embedded in the temporal bone. The cochlear nerve travels away from the cochlea of the inner ear, where it starts as the spiral ganglia. Processes from the organ of Corti conduct afferent transmission to the spiral ganglia.
