Solution
The correct option is B Temporal lobe There is a primary auditory cortex region present in the temporal lobes of the brain. This region is responsible for auditory perception, sound processing and hearing. Cortical lesions or damage to this area may result to damage of the auditory cortex. This may result in hearing loss or deafness. It may be possible that only hearing or analysing ability may be lost while the other parts are functioning properly.
