Correct answer: B — Popliteal artery and popliteal vein and tibial nerve and common peroneal nerve
The popliteal fossa contains (from superficial to deep): tibial nerve (most superficial and medial) / popliteal vein / popliteal artery (deepest against the femur). The common peroneal nerve follows the biceps femoris tendon laterally. The sciatic nerve divides into tibial and common peroneal nerves at or above the popliteal fossa apex.
