• B. Cerebral hemispheres
• C. Medulla oblongata
• D. Cerebellum

Answer 1

The correct option is A Hypothalamus

The hypothalamus is responsible for certain metabolic processes and other activities of the autonomic nervous system. It synthesizes and secretes certain neurohormones, often called releasing hormones or hypothalamic hormones, and these, in turn, stimulate or inhibit the secretion of pituitary hormones. The hypothalamus controls body temperature, hunger, important aspects of parenting and attachment behaviors, thirst, fatigue, sleep, and circadian rhythms.

Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
