Which cranial nerve is purely sensory for smell?
The correct answer is B: Olfactory. In Peripheral Nervous System, this idea is central because it matches how the body actually works in everyday teaching examples. Put simply, Olfactory is the option that correctly names the structure, process, or principle asked for in Peripheral Nervous System. That is why Olfactory is the option that holds up when you check it against basic physiology. When you revise, say the answer out loud with one short reason attached; that sticks better than rote lists. Remember that physiology questions reward precise language: name the process, the location, and the outcome, then match that to the option text.
Ref: Animal physiology is Unit 7 of the CSIR NET Life Science Syllabus, covering core body systems. It accounts for roughly 10% of the total marks in Sections B and C.
