None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The inferior alveolar artery is the predominant blood supply to the mandible.

Detailed explanation-2: -The origin of the facial artery is near the deep superior cervical lymph nodes. The submandibular lymph nodes lie adjacent to the facial artery as it courses toward the face superficially. As the artery crests over the body of the mandible, the submandibular and facial lymph nodes remain deep to this vessel.

Detailed explanation-3: -[2, 3] The marginal mandibular nerve runs forward below the angle of the mandible under the platysma, at first superficial to the upper part of the digastric triangle and then turning up and forward across the body of the mandible to supply muscles of the lower lip.
