Which fascial space is below the mylohyoid and swelling would be evident at the submandibular triangle?

Sublingual
Submandibular
Retropharyngeal
Parapharyngeal

The correct answer is: Submandibular

The submandibular fascial space is located below the mylohyoid muscle in the submandibular triangle, which is the area on the underside of the jaw. Swelling in this area would be evident at the submandibular triangle, making option B the correct answer. The sublingual space is located above the mylohyoid in the sublingual region, so swelling in that area would not be evident at the submandibular triangle, making option A incorrect. The retropharyngeal space is located in the back of the throat, behind the pharynx, so swelling there would not be visible in the submandibular triangle, making option C incorrect. The parapharyngeal space is located beside the pharynx, not below the mylohyoid muscle, so swelling there would also not be visible in the submandibular triangle, making option D incorrect.
