Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Forebrain, midbrain and hindbrain

• The brain has three divisions, i.e., forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain. The forebrain consists of the cerebrum, thalamus, and hypothalamus.
• The midbrain has decreased in size during vertebrate evolution and the forebrain has gradually acquired much of its function, while the hindbrain consists of medulla, cerebellum and the pons.

Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
