Solution

The correct option is A Arbor vitae
The cerebellum is the region of the hind brain. The cortex of cerebellum is made up of grey matter which is external to the white matter. The white matter projects outside and forms a branching pattern of a tree, which is called the Arbor Vitae or the tree of life. It is required for the coordination of various movements of the body. It also allows the cerebellum to communicate with the parts of the brain.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Arbor vitae'
