Dear Faisal91, thank you for responding to my question, the ganglia ( sensory and autonomic ) in general are derivatives of neural crest so why not C too. Answer "D" is clearly mentnioned under the derivatives list from neural crest but C is doubtful. Otherwise i accept with D for sure. pls clarify. thank you.
