B Correct answer
Explanation

Common peroneal nerve dysfunction is due to damage to the peroneal nerve resulting in the loss of movement in the foot and leg. It supplies movement and sensation to the lower leg, foot and toes. When Raman met with an accident and had a fracture at the neck of fibula, the common peroneal nerve must have been damaged.
