• A. Cerebrum
• B. Cerebellum
• C. Medulla oblongata
• D. Diencephalon

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Cerebellum

The cerebellum is involved in movements by influencing the upper motor neurons. This function may be disrupted due to the introduction of alcohol in the blood. Alcohol consumption leads to alteration of the structures of the brain. Alcohol affects the cerebellum and consequently affects the bodily movements. There is the loss of coordinated movements and balance leading to ataxia. There are memory loss and difficulty in speech and language.

So, the correct answer is option B.
