Solution

The correct option is C Midbrain
Parkinson's disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects movement. The underlying cause of Parkinson’s symptoms relates to a decline in the production of a brain chemical, called as dopamine. Many of the cells, which produce dopamine are in the Basal Ganglia located in the middle of the brain. This lack of dopamine means people can have difficulty controlling their movements and moving freely.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
