Solution

The correct option is B Cerebellum
The cerebellum is the part of the hindbrain and receives information from the sensory systems, the spinal cord and other parts of the brain and then regulates motor movements. The cerebellum coordinates voluntary movements such as posture, balance, coordination, and speech, resulting in smooth, balanced muscular activity. Thus, the correct answer is option C.
