Correct answer: D — Inferior alveolar nerve
The inferior alveolar nerve (a branch of V3) enters the mandibular foramen accompanied by the inferior alveolar artery and vein. It traverses the mandibular canal, supplying the mandibular teeth, and exits at the mental foramen as the mental nerve. The lingual nerve passes medial to the mandibular ramus but does not enter the foramen. The mylohyoid nerve branches off before the foramen.
