• B. 1, 2 correct
• C. 2, 4 correct
• D. 1, 3 correct

Answer 1

The correct option is C 2, 4 correct

C. 2,4 correct

Solution: Broca's area is a region of the brain that contains neurons involved in speech function. Broca’s area mediates a cascade of activation from sensory representations of words in temporal cortex to their corresponding articulatory gestures in motor cortex, but it is surprisingly quiescent during articulation. Broca’s area does not participate in production of individual words, but coordinates the transformation of information processing across large-scale cortical networks involved in spoken word production, prior to articulation.

So the correct answer is "2,4 correct".
