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.

So the correct option is 'Cerebral cortex'.
