Correct answer: E — Ducts of Rivinus
The sublingual gland drains through multiple small ducts of Rivinus that open directly onto the floor of the mouth along the sublingual fold (plica sublingualis). The Bartholin duct is a larger duct from the sublingual gland that often joins the Wharton duct (submandibular duct). Stensen duct drains the parotid gland. Wharton duct drains the submandibular gland.
