A patient presents with foot drop and a sensory deficit over the dorsum of the foot. Which nerve is most likely injured?

✓ Correct Answer: Option C

The common fibular (peroneal) nerve innervates the muscles responsible for dorsiflexion of the foot (e.g., tibialis anterior) and provides sensation to the dorsum of the foot. Injury to this nerve typically causes foot drop and sensory loss in that region.
