Answer:

The correct answer is: B) axons from the vestibular nuclei connect with cranial nerves X and XII which control eye movements.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cranial nerves X (vagus nerve) and XII (hipoglossus nerve) don't control eye movements. Eye movements are controlled by the following cranial nerves: oculomotor nerve (III), trochlear nerve (IV) and abducens nerve (VI).
