• C. Hypothalamus - regulation of temperature, hunger and thirst
  
• D. Corpus callosum - band of fibres connecting left and right cerebral hemispheres

Answer 1

The correct option is B Limbic system - consists of fibre tracts that interconnect different regions of the brain and controls movement

Brain and spinal cord are a part of central nervous system. brain is divided into:

• Forebrain: It consists of cerebrum, thalamus and hypothalamus. It integrates motor, sensory and cognitive performances between cerebral cortex on one side of the brain to the same region on the other side.
• Limbic system is a complex structure formed by the inner parts of the cerebral hemispheres and a group of associated deep structures like amygdala, hippocampus, etc. It controls sexual behavious, expression of emotional reactions and motivation.
• Mid brain: It consists of bundles of axons and group of cell bodies which are known as colliculi
• Hindbrain: It consists of cerebellum, medulla oblongata and pons.
