Solution

The correct option is B Basal side of the brain
The pituitary gland is associated with the forebrain. It is located between the hypothalamus and the pineal gland, just behind the bridge of the nose, underneath the brain. It is connected to the hypothalamus via the infundibulum that contains the hypophyseal portal system.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Basal side of the brain'
