Solution
The correct option is C Basal ganglia
The basal ganglia are a group of structures found deep within the cerebral hemispheres.
The structures generally included in the basal ganglia are the caudate, putamen, and globus pallidus in the cerebrum, the substantia nigra in the midbrain, and the subthalamic nucleus in the diencephalon.
Hence Basal ganglion is a part of the diencephalon.
