Correct answer: A. Corpus callosum

  • A. Corpus callosum
  • B. Medulla oblongata
  • C. Cerebral cortex
  • D. Cerebellum

Explanation

The corpus callosum is a broad band of nerve fibres that carries information between the left and right cerebral hemispheres. Students may choose the cerebral cortex because it covers the hemispheres, but the cortex is an outer grey-matter layer and does not connect them.
