The correct answer is
A
The innervation of the parotid involves the preganglionic parasympathetic portion of the gland, beginning in the inferior salivatory nucleus and passing via the glossopharyngeal nerve, the tympanic plexus, and the lesser petrosal nerve to the oticganglion.
The postganglionic fibers travel along the auriculotemporal nerve and into the parotid gland, where they control glandular secretions.
Preganglionic sympathetic fibers originate in the first and second thoracic segments and synapse in the cervical sympathetic ganglia. Postganglionic sympathetic fibers travel along the external carotid artery to the superficial temporal artery and the transverse facial artery and terminate in the sweat glands.
