Explanation

The sensory innervation of the nasal cavity is supplied by branches of the trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V). The facial nerve primarily controls facial expressions, the oculomotor nerve innervates eye muscles, and the glossopharyngeal nerve is involved in taste and sensation of the posterior tongue and pharynx.
