This coordinates movements and balance
A
cerebrum
B
cerebellum
C
thalamus
D
hypothalamus
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The cerebrum initiates and coordinates movement, while the cerebellum controls things like posture, balance, muscular activity, and more.

Detailed explanation-2: -Coordination of voluntary movements. Most movements are composed of a number of different muscle groups acting together in a temporally coordinated fashion. One major function of the cerebellum is to coordinate the timing and force of these different muscle groups to produce fluid limb or body movements.

Detailed explanation-3: -The cerebellum-also called the “little brain” because it looks like a small version of the cerebrum-is responsible for balance, movement, and coordination. The pons and the medulla, along with the midbrain, are often called the brainstem. The brainstem takes in, sends out, and coordinates the brain’s messages.

Detailed explanation-4: -The flocculonodular lobe. It is the oldest part of the brain in evolutionary terms (archicerebellum) and participates mainly in balance and spatial orientation. Its primary connections are with the vestibular nuclei, although it also receives visual and other sensory input.

Detailed explanation-5: -Instead-like the basal ganglia-the cerebellum influences movements by modifying the activity patterns of the upper motor neurons. In fact, the cerebellum sends prominent projections to virtually all upper motor neurons.
