Explanation

The otic ganglion primarily contains parasympathetic fibers along with some sensory fibers, but it does not contain sympathetic fibers. It supplies secretomotor innervation to the parotid gland and is located in the floor of the infratemporal fossa. Therefore, the statement claiming it has parasympathetic, sympathetic, and sensory fibers is incorrect.
