C

D
Submental artery
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The branches of the inferior alveolar artery perfuse regions, including the chin, neck, and lower lip. The lymphatic drainage of the inferior alveolar artery and its perfusion territory will drain toward the submental and submandibular lymph nodes.

Detailed explanation-2: -The external carotid artery is the principal supply of blood to the lips, via the facial artery giving rise to the superior and inferior labial arteries lateral to the angles of the mouth. The labial arteries are located within the submucosa of the vermilion-mucosa transitional area, deep to the orbicularis oris.

Detailed explanation-3: -The facial artery has multiple branches that supply many structures. Supplied by the facial artery, the buccinator and levator anguli oris are two muscles that lie deep to this vasculature. The artery may pass through, or over (normal variant), the levator labii superioris.
