E) axons from neurons whose cell bodies are in the deep pontine nuclei
This answer is incorrect.
Fibers arising from the pontine nuclei tend to enter the cerebellum via the middle cerebellar peduncle. The inferior cerebellar peduncle consists largely of afferents to the cerebellum from the inferior olivary nucleus. ( See References)
