Solution

The correct option is A Medulla oblongata
The hindbrain comprises pons, cerebellum and medulla oblongata.

Cerebellum has very convoluted surface in order to provide the additional space for many more neurons.

The medulla contains centres which control respiration, cardiovascular reflexes and gastric secretions.
