The part of the brain concerned with intelligence, memory and voluntary action is the
Correct answer: B. cerebrum
- A. cerebellum
- B. cerebrum
- C. medulla oblongata
- D. hypothalamus
Explanation
The cerebrum is the largest part of the human brain, and its folded cortex carries the sensory, motor and association areas responsible for thought, language, memory and conscious decision. Its folding increases the surface area enormously within the fixed volume of the skull. The cerebellum and medulla handle coordination and vital automatic functions and have nothing to do with conscious thought.

About Brain
The brain includes the cerebrum, cerebellum, brainstem, hypothalamus and medulla, each with distinct roles in sensation, movement and homeostasis. Questions connect major brain regions with their functions, reflex control and coordination, while distinguishing involuntary responses from hormonal regulation.
