• C. Cerebral cortex
• D. Medulla oblongata

Answer 1

The correct option is A Hypothalamus

Neurons producing hormone-like substances are called neurosecretory cells. The hypothalamus contains several groups of neurosecretory cells, which secrete hormones called hypothalamic hormones. The hypothalamus also contains a number of centers which control body temperature, urge for eating and drinking, and osmoregulation (water balance).
So, the correct answer is 'hypothalamus'.
