The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion. The brainstem consists of pons varoli, medulla oblongata, mid brain and diencephalon. The brain stem is the connection between brain and spinal cord. It contains centres for controlling many vital activities, like respiration, body temperature, an urge for eating and drinking etc. It also carries nerve tracts between the spinal cord and the higher brain structure.
