Solution

The correct option is C Limbic system
The limbic lobe or limbic system, along with the hypothalamus, is involved in the regulation of emotions (e.g., excitement, pleasure rage and fear) and motivation.

The cerebral cortex is required for voluntary activities, language, speech, and multiple brain functions, such as thinking and memory.

The cerebellum coordinates voluntary movements such as posture, balance, coordination, and speech, resulting in smooth and balanced muscular activity.

The medulla oblongata is responsible for regulating several basic functions of the autonomic nervous system, including respiration, cardiac function, vasodilation, and reflexes like vomiting, coughing, sneezing, and swallowing.
