Solution

The correct option is B Muscle coordination
The hypothalamus contains a number of centres which control body temperature, urge for eating and drinking. It also contains several groups of neurosecretory cells, which secrete hormones called hypothalamic hormones. It is involved in the regulation of sexual behavior, expression of emotional reactions (e.g., excitement, pleasure, rage and fear) and motivation.

Muscle coordination is controlled by cerebellum.
