A
Frontal Lobe
B
Parietal Lobe
C
Occipital Lobe
D
Temporal Lobe
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The occipital lobes sit at the back of the head and are responsible for visual perception, including colour, form and motion. Damage to the occipital lobe can include: Difficulty with locating objects in environment. Difficulty with identifying colours (Colour Agnosia)

Detailed explanation-2: -The four lobes of the brain are the frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital lobes (Figure 2). The frontal lobe is located in the forward part of the brain, extending back to a fissure known as the central sulcus . The frontal lobe is involved in reasoning, motor control, emotion, and language.

Detailed explanation-3: -The main job of your occipital lobe is decoding the messages sent from your eyes and turning that information into forms the rest of your brain can use. That job happens in two specific areas in your occipital lobe: the primary visual cortex and the secondary visual cortex.

Detailed explanation-4: -The temporal lobe contains the primary auditory cortex, which receives auditory information from the ears and secondary areas, and processes the information so we understand what we’re hearing (e.g. words, laughing, a baby crying).
