Correct Answer: None of the above
Description: The sensory innervation of the tongue reflects its embryological development. The nerve of general sensation to the presulcal pa is the lingual nerve, which also carries taste sensation derived from the chorda tympani branch of the facial nerve.

An additional area in the region of the valleculae is supplied by the internal laryngeal branch of the vagus nerve.Ref: Gray's anatomy 40th edition, Chapter 33.
