Solution
The correct option is B Intercranial
Cranial nerves are the nerves that emerge directly from the brain (including the brainstem), in contrast to spinal nerves (which emerge from segments of the spinal cord). 10 of the 12 cranial nerves originate in the brainstem.
Cranial nerves relay information between the brain and parts of the body, primarily to and from regions of the head and neck. Hence, Intercranial nerves end inside the brain.
