Solution

The correct option is

A

Thalamus

The thalamus is a structure in the middle of the brain. It is located between the cerebral cortex and the midbrain. It works to correlate several important processes, including consciousness, sleep, and sensory interpretation. So, it is called a relay center. It is the crucial relay station for incoming sensory signals and outgoing motor signals passing to and from the cerebral cortex.
