All of the following muscles are derived from pharyngeal arches except:
(A) Tensor tympani (B) Levator palpebrae superioris (C) Palatine tensor (D) Orbicularis oculi
(B) Levator palpebrae superioris is a somatic muscle that develops from the mesoderm. Tensor tympani & palatine tensor (tensor veli palatine) develops from first pharyngeal arch while orbicularis oculi (muscles of facial expression) develops from the second pharyngeal arch (facial nerve)
