Solution

The correct option is D

Limbic system


The inner part of the cerebral hemispheres and a group of associated deep structures like amygdala , hippocampus etc. form a complex structure called the limbic lobe or limbic system. Along with the hypothalamus, it is involved in the regulation of sexual behaviour, expression of emotional reactions (excitement, pleasure, rage and fear) and motivation.
