Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The C1 nerve does not pass through an intervertebral foramen, unlike the other spinal nerves listed (C2-C8, T1-T12, L1-L5), which do. The C1 nerve exits the spinal column between the skull and the first cervical vertebra, so a collapsed intervertebral foramen would not affect it.
