Hint:
The nervous system constitutes the nerve network, spinal cord, and brain. Complex activities of the nervous system are done by all these organs.

Complete answer:
Animal nervous systems are classified into three divisions which are the Central nervous system(CNS), the Autonomic nervous system(ANS), and Peripheral Nervous System (PNS).
CNS constitutes the brain and spinal cord. Three membranes namely dura mater, arachnoid, and pia mater are covered the brain. The principal portion of the human brain is the forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain. The cerebrum and diencephalon constitute the forebrain. The dorsal thalamus and ventral hypothalamus are the parts of the forebrain. Our intelligence, thinking, consciousness, memory, imagination, reasoning, and willpower are all controlled by the cerebrum.
The cerebral cortex envelops the cerebrum and has many folds. Due to its large surface area, the cerebral cortex accounts for weight. The cerebral cortex has divided into four lobes frontal lobe, temporal lobe, parietal lobe, and occipital lobe. Each lobe has different functions.
The Wernicke area is present in the temporal lobe. This area is responsible for understanding the language. In addition to this, it also processes memories and emotions and plays a major part in hearing and visual perception.
The correct answer for the given question is Cerebrum.

Option ‘B’ is correct

Note:
The cerebral cortex is made of grey matter, in which the brain processes information. It also has ridges and folds. The folds and ridges accommodated rapid brain growth. Our left side of the body is in control by the right side of the cerebral cortex while the right-hand side commands by the left hemisphere.
