Answer-b

o Cerebrum: The cerebrum is the largest portion of the brain, and contains tools which are responsible for most of the brain's function. It controls a several elements including creative thought, problem solving, intellect, judgment, behaviour, attention, abstract thinking, physical reactions, muscle movements, coordinated movements, smell and personality.

o Cerebellum: This is commonly referred to as "the little brain," and is considered to be older than the cerebrum on the evolutionary scale. The cerebellum controls essential body functions such as balance, posture and coordination, allowing humans to move properly and maintain their structure.

o Hypothalamus: The hypothalamus region of the brain controls mood, thirst, hunger and temperature. It also contains glands which control the hormonal processes throughout the body.
