Solution

The correct option is D cerebrum
The cerebrum is the largest part of the human brain, making up about two-third of the brain mass. It is further divided into two distinct hemispheres - the right and the left hemisphere. The cerebrum initiates and coordinates movement and regulates temperature. Other areas of the cerebrum enable speech, judgment, thinking and reasoning, problem-solving, emotions and learning.
