C: Anterior branch of pterygopalatine ganglion supplies soft palate
Answer: C: Anterior branch of pterygopalatine ganglion supplies soft palate 
Explanation: "Greater or anterior palatine branches of pterygopalatine ganglion supplies hard palate and lateral wall of the nose while the lesser or middle and posterior palatine nerve supply the soft palate and tonsils". All the muscles of the soft palate except tensor veli palatini are supplied by pharyngeal plexus (fibers of the plexus are derived from the cranial pa of the accessory nerve through the vagus nerve) Tensor veli palatini is supplied by mandibular nerve.
