Solution

The correct option is B
Cerebellum

The cerebellum is one of the most identifiable parts of the brain due to its unique shape and location. Cerebellum shows a large number of furrows and grooves. This receives information from the sensory systems, the spinal cord, and other parts of the brain and then regulates motor movements. This also coordinates voluntary movements such as posture, balance, coordination and speech.
