A
involved in our ability to speak
B
involved in our ability to understand spoken language
C
consists of pineal gland
D
upper part of the brainstem
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Broca’s area, located in the left hemisphere, is associated with speech production and articulation. Our ability to articulate ideas, as well as use words accurately in spoken and written language, has been attributed to this crucial area.

Detailed explanation-2: -Broca’s area is a key component of a complex speech network, interacting with the flow of sensory information from the temporal cortex, devising a plan for speaking and passing that plan along to the motor cortex, which controls the movements of the mouth.

Detailed explanation-3: -The frontal lobe contains Broca’s area, which is associated with speech ability.

Detailed explanation-4: -This area, located in the frontal part of the left hemisphere of the brain, was discovered in 1861 by French surgeon Paul Broca, who found that it serves a vital role in the generation of articulate speech.

Detailed explanation-5: -Broca’s and Wernicke’s areas are cortical areas specialized for production and comprehension, respectively, of human language. Broca’s area is found in the left inferior frontal gyrus and Wernicke’s area is located in the left posterior superior temporal gyrus.
