Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The cerebrum controls all motor tasks, language, and memory actions, while the cerebellum controls balance, coordination, and posture. The role of these two brain hemispheres is to maintain balance in athletes. The cerebral cortex helps process mental events (e.g., thinking) while the cerebellum controls the movement.

Detailed explanation-2: -The cerebellum is the vital part of the brain that controls the motor movements of the body. Its functions include coordinated movement, balance, posture, speech, etc. Thus in this case, if the cerebellum is damaged the person won’t be able to stand or walk properly. So, the correct answer is option C.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cerebellum is a large dorsally projecting region of the brain, located between the brain stem and the rear of the cerebrum, and composed in humans of two lateral lobes and a median lobe.
