Answer 1

The correct option is B Cerebral cortex to the medulla oblongata

The pons is a portion of the hindbrain. It is a bunch of nerve fibers that connect the cerebral cortex with the medulla oblongata. It generally relays the signals from the cerebellum to the cerebrum and in addition deals with deep sleep, respiratory regulation and a whole lot of other functions.

So the correct answer is B.
