Solution

The correct option is C
Thinking and memory

The cerebral hemispheres are the largest part of the brain (nearly 80%). They are the most specialized and complex part of the brain. These cerebral hemispheres are each of the two parts of the cerebrum. Each hemisphere has some areas called association areas which store information and experiences. These association areas control thinking, memory, learning and emotions. Hence, they are known to be the centre of thinking and memory.
