Solution
The correct option is B Cerebral cortex
The cerebral cortex of the brain has three regions of function, namely Sensory, motor and association areas.
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.
