Correct answer: D — The anterior hard palate and nasal septum (anterior portion)
The nasopalatine nerve (branch of V2 maxillary division via the pterygopalatine ganglion) provides sensation to the anterior hard palate and nasal septum. It passes through the incisive canal. It is blocked during maxillary dental procedures and nasal surgery. The anterior ethmoidal nerve (V1) supplies the anterior nasal septum and lateral wall.
