Solution

The correct option is C Pons varolii
The pneumotaxic centre, located in the dorsal part of the pons varolii, sends inhibitory impulses to the inspiratory centre terminating inspiration and thereby regulating the inspiratory volume and respiratory rate. This centre likely is involved in the fine-tuning of breathing.
So the correct answer is option D.
