  • D. Corpus callosum

Explanation

The left cerebral hemisphere controls the movement of the right side of the body. The left hemisphere of the brain is generally responsible for language and speech, as well as logical and analytical thinking, including reading, writing, and mathematics. It controls the motor functions and sensory experiences of the right side of the body. While it plays a dominant role in these areas, especially for right-handed individuals, both brain hemispheres work together.
