Solution

The correct option is E Occipital lobe
The primary visual area is located in the occipital lobe of the cerebrum. Decoding and interpretation of visual information, shape, and colour occur in the occipital lobe.
The cerebellum is the part of the brain at the back of the skull in vertebrates, which coordinates and regulates muscular activity.
The frontal lobe is the part of the brain that controls important cognitive skills in humans, such as emotional expression, problem-solving, memory, language, judgment, and sexual behavior.
The parietal lobes can be divided into two functional regions. One involves sensation and perception and the other is concerned with integrating sensory input, primarily with the visual system
The temporal lobe is involved in primary auditory perception, such as hearing, and holds the primary auditory cortex.
