Language areas in the cerebral cortex
A
are found exclusively in the left hemisphere.
B
are fully lateralized at birth.
C
develop as children acquire language.
D
are not fully functional until adulthood.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The brain starts to build the neural network it needs when a child hears the same sounds repeated, and as she learns words and sounds, the neural network explodes. She picks up on household conversations, music, stories, and any sounds she hears, and thus learns her native language.

Detailed explanation-2: -The main parts of the brain involved in language processes are the Broca’s area, located in the left frontal lobe, which is responsible for speech production and articulation, and the Wernicke’s area, in the left temporal lobe, associated with language development and comprehension.

Detailed explanation-3: -The premotor cortex is a region found beside the primary motor cortex. It guides eye and head movements and a person’s sense of orientation. Broca’s area, important in language production, is found in the frontal lobe, usually on the left side.

Detailed explanation-4: -Regions in your frontal, temporal and parietal lobes formulate what you want to say and the motor cortex, in your frontal lobe, enables you to speak the words. Most of this language-related brain activity is likely occurring in the left side of your brain.
