Solution

The correct option is C Medulla oblongata
A. Cerebellum: It maintains posture, equilibrium and muscle tone.
B. Diencephalon: It is a reflex centre for muscular and glandular activities. It is relay centre for sensory impulses, except those of smell.
C. Medulla oblongata: It maintains posture, equilibrium and muscle tone. It controls voluntary movements initiated by the cerebrum.
D. Pons Varolii: It transmits impulses from one side of the cerebellum to the other and from medulla to higher centres in the brain.
