Solution

The nerve that provides sensation to the skin over the suprapubic area is the Iliohypogastric nerve. So, the answer is B. Iliohypogastric nerve.

Here's a step-by-step explanation:

  1. The suprapubic area is the region just above the pubic bone.

  2. Sensation to this area is provided by the lower abdominal nerves, specifically the iliohypogastric nerve.

  3. The iliohypogastric nerve is a branch of the lumbar plexus, which is a network of nerve fibers that supplies the skin and muscles of the lower abdomen.

  4. This nerve provides sensory innervation to the skin over the suprapubic area, hence it is responsible for the sensation in that area.

So, the correct answer to your question is B. Iliohypogastric nerve.
