Solution

The correct option is A Quadrigemina
In the midbrain of mammals, two pairs of lobes extend from the dorsal surface, the anterior pair being optic centres and the posterior pair is the auditory centre, which is collectively known as corpora quadrigemina. It is composed of white matter externally and grey matter. The superior pair contains correlation centres for optic reflexes and the inferior pair contains correlation centres for auditory reflexes.
So, the correct answer is option D.
