What two nerves make up the Vidian nerve?

  1. Olfactory and Optic

  2. Greater petrosal and Deep petrosal

  3. Facial and Trigeminal

  4. Vagus and Accessory

The correct answer is: Greater petrosal and Deep petrosal

The Greater petrosal and Deep petrosal nerves are the two branches of the Vidian nerve. Option A is incorrect because the olfactory and optic nerves are not involved in the formation of the Vidian nerve. Option C is incorrect because the facial and trigeminal nerves are not part of the Vidian nerve. Option D is incorrect because the Vidian nerve is formed by the greater petrosal and deep petrosal nerves, not the vagus and accessory nerves. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
