Expert Solution

Step 1

The command center of the body, that is, the brain, is a part of the central nervous system. The structure of the brain is divided into three regions; the medulla oblongata, the cerebellum, and the cerebrum.

Step 2

The cerebrum is the largest among the three regions of the brain and is further sub-divided into two halves or hemispheres; the right hemisphere and the left hemisphere. These two hemispheres of the cerebrum are connected to each other via the corpus callosum (a band made up of nerve fibers).

Hence, the correct answer is the option ‘b.’
