Solution

The correct option is A

Medulla oblongata


Cerebellum: The cerebellum is located behind the top part of the brain stem (where the spinal cord meets the brain) and is made up of two hemispheres (halves). It coordinates the movement of the body.

Medulla oblongata: It controls heartbeat, breathing, and other involuntary movements. It connects the rest of the brain to the spinal cord.

Cerebrum: The cerebrum or cortex is the largest part of the human brain, associated with higher brain function such as thought and action. The cerebral cortex is divided into four sections, called "lobes": the frontal lobe, parietal lobe, occipital lobe, and temporal lobe.

Meninges: The meninges refer to the membranous coverings of the brain and spinal cord. There are three layers of meninges, known as the dura mater, arachnoid mater and pia mater
