• A. Medulla
• B. Cerebral cortex
• C. Grey matter of cerebrum
• D. Both A and C

Answer 1

The correct option is B Cerebral cortex

• This association area does not belong either of the primary sensory or motor regions since its function is associative.
• The main function of these association regions is to provide a perpetual understanding of the world. it helps in effective interaction, abstract thinking, and language.
• These association regions are present in the form of an interwoven network.

So the correct option is 'Cerebral cortex'.
