B

C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -But handedness has its roots in the brain-right-handed people have left-hemisphere-dominant brains and vice versa-and the lefties who claim Einstein weren’t all that far off.

Detailed explanation-2: -If you’re mostly analytical and methodical in your thinking, the theory says that you’re left-brained. If you tend to be more creative or artistic, you’re right-brained. This theory is based on the fact that the brain’s two hemispheres function differently.

Detailed explanation-3: -It’s still true that language is left-oriented and emotions are right-oriented. It’s also true that the lobes of the brain have specific jobs. But no evidence suggests that a person’s left or right brain is stronger than the other. It’s all about the neural connections.

Detailed explanation-4: -Right Brain Left Brain While it’s true that certain mental processes tend to occur in either the right or left hemisphere of the brain, research into the topic has found no evidence that people have stronger networks on one side of the brain or the other.
