Which of the following pairs is correct?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Cerebrum and intellectual functions
The governing concept is the functional division of the brain. The cerebrum is responsible for conscious thought, intelligence, learning, memory, and interpretation, so “cerebrum and intellectual functions” is correctly paired in option D. The cerebellum chiefly maintains balance and coordinates movement, whereas the medulla controls involuntary activities such as breathing and heartbeat. Therefore options A, B, and C mismatch each brain part with its principal function.
