The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

The diencephalon develops from the back of the forebrain and is located between the cerebral hemispheres and above the midbrain. It generally surrounds the third ventricle and is composed largely of grey matter organised into nuclei. Among these, a dense nucleus, called the thalamus/ bulges into the third ventricle from each side. Another region that includes many nuclei is the hypothalamus/ which lies below the thalamic nuclei and forms the lower walls and the floor of the third ventricle.

Concepts Used:

Neural Control and Coordination

Neural System:

Neurons are the most specialised cells in the nervous system of all animals, and they are responsible for detecting, accepting, and conveying numerous types of motives. The neurological system of low-spinal animals like Hydra is incredibly simple, consisting of a network of neurons. When the brain of an insect comprises a vast number of ganglia and neural tissues, it is optimally structured.

Coordination System:

Coordination is the process by which two or more organs work together to accomplish each other's duties. Increased muscle activity increases the supply of oxygen and the demand for energy while we exercise. When we cease exercising, our nerves, heart, lungs, and kidneys all return to normal. As a result, all of the organs' functions are properly integrated in order to conduct the exercise and supply the appropriate conditions while exercising. Similarly, in the human body, the neurological and endocrine systems work together to coordinate all of the organ activities.
