C. spinal and cranial nerves

Explanation:

The peripheral nervous system is composed of nerves which transmit the signal to and from the central nervous system and is present outside the central nervous system.

The nerves of the peripheral system are known as the spinal and cranial nerves which arise from the spinal cord and cranium or the brain respectively. The nerves are also known as the peripheral nerves as the nerves originate from the spinal cord and cranial but their main function depends on the peripheral organ.

Thus, Option - C is the correct answer.
