CN I (Olfactory nerve), CN II (Optic nerve), and CN VIII (Vestibulocochlear nerve) are all sensory nerves. CN I is involved in smell, CN II in vision, and CN VIII in hearing and balance, thus they do not all send information to the same cortical areas as suggested in options A and C, nor are they involved in motor functions as suggested in B.
