Correct answer: E — Mandibular division of trigeminal (V3)
The foramen ovale in the greater wing of the sphenoid transmits the mandibular division (V3) of the trigeminal nerve. V1 exits through the superior orbital fissure, V2 through the foramen rotundum. The facial nerve exits through the stylomastoid foramen. This is a high-yield anatomy landmark for dental anaesthesia.
