The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of identifying the odd cranial nerve based on their functions, we will analyze the functions of each cranial nerve mentioned. ### Step 1: Identify the cranial nerves and their functions 1. **Olfactory Nerve (Cranial Nerve I)**: This nerve is responsible for the sense of smell. 2. **Optic Nerve (Cranial Nerve II)**: This nerve is responsible for vision, transmitting visual information from the retina to the brain. 3. **Oculomotor Nerve (Cranial Nerve III)**: This nerve controls most of the eye's movements, including pupil dilation and the movement of the eye. 4. **Vestibulo-Ocular Nerve (Cranial Nerve VIII)**: This nerve is involved in hearing and balance. ### Step 2: Compare their functions - The **Olfactory**, **Optic**, and **Vestibulo-Ocular** nerves have specific sensory functions (smell, vision, and balance/hearing, respectively). - The **Oculomotor Nerve**, while it does have a function related to eye movement, is primarily a motor nerve that controls the muscles around the eye, rather than being a sensory nerve. ### Step 3: Identify the odd one out From the analysis, the **Oculomotor Nerve** is the odd one out because it primarily has a motor function related to eye movement, while the others are sensory nerves related to specific senses (smell, vision, and hearing/balance). ### Final Answer: The odd cranial nerve with respect to its function is the **Oculomotor Nerve**. ---
