A10 pairs
B31 pairs
C12 pairs

Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. 12 pairs
1. The rabbit peripheral nervous system has cranial and spinal nerves.
2. There are 12 pairs of cranial nerves.
3. So 12 pairs is correct.
4. The figure 37 is the number of spinal-nerve pairs, not cranial, so it is the trap.
