C
radial
D
sural
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The sciatic nerve also provides sensory innervation to the skin of the foot and the lower leg (except for the medial leg which is innervated by the saphenous nerve).

Detailed explanation-2: -The sciatic nerve, which provides motor innervation to the muscles of the posterior thigh and sensory innervation to the lateral side of the lower leg and lateral side and sole of the foot, ends just above the posterior knee in the popliteal fossa and bifurcates into the common fibular and tibial nerves.

Detailed explanation-3: -[6] The femoral nerve becomes the saphenous nerve when it passes through the adductor canal. It continues to travel along the medial aspect of the tibia until about halfway down the tibia, where it finally divides into two branches. One branch is more posterior and ends at the ankle.
