Solution

The correct option is B

Hypothalamus


The hypothalamus is known as the master switchboard because it's the part of the brain that controls the endocrine system. The pituitary gland, which hangs by a thin stalk from the hypothalamus, is called the master gland of the body because it regulates the activity of the endocrine glands.
