Correct answer: A. Cerebrum

  • A. Cerebrum
  • B. Cerebellum
  • C. Medulla
  • D. Hypothalamus

Explanation

The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain and is responsible for processing and interpreting sensory information, including sound, which is why it is associated with the sense of hearing. The other options, such as the cerebellum, medulla, and hypothalamus, have different functions related to movement coordination, autonomic regulation, and homeostasis, respectively, and do not directly handle auditory processing.
