Solution

The correct option is A The main thinking part of brain is hind brain.
The cerebrum is the main thinking part of the brain, which is a part of the forebrain. It coordinates the voluntary actions of the body. It has different areas for performing different functions, such as centres of hearing, smell, memory, etc. The hind brain consists of the pons (takes part in regulating respiration), cerebellum (helps in maintaining posture and balance of body) and medulla that controls involuntary actions, such as breathing, etc. The midbrain controls reflex movements.
