• A. Corpora bigemina
• B. Medulla oblongata
• C. Diencephalon
• D. Mesencephalon

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Diencephalon

Choroid plexus is present in all components of the ventricular system except for the cerebral aqueduct, frontal horn of the lateral ventricle, and occipital horn of the lateral ventricle. Choroid plexus is found in the superior part of the inferior horn of the lateral ventricles. It follows up along this boundary, continuous with the inferior of the body of the lateral ventricles. It passes through the interventricular foramen and is present at the top of the third ventricle. There is also choroid plexus in the fourth ventricle, in the section closest to the bottom half of the cerebellum. The diencephalon is formed by the roof of the third ventricle.

So, the correct answer is 'Diencephalon'
