Cerebral cortex
D
Brain stem
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The cerebral cortex is referred to as the “executive suite, ” where the conscious mind is found, and it consists entirely of gray matter containing neuron cell bodies, dendrites, glia cells, and blood vessels. There are no fiber tracts, or axons, in this region.

Detailed explanation-2: -The cerebral cortex is the outside portion of the cerebrum, also called the “gray matter”. It generates the most complex intellectual thoughts and controls body movement. The cerebrum is divided into left and right sides, which communicate with each other through a thin stalk of nerve fibers.

Detailed explanation-3: -The cerebral cortex is made up of gray matter (comprises cell bodies and dendrites) that covers the internal white matter. Cerebrum is made up of both gray and white matter and comprises both cell bodies and nerve fibers. The cerebrum is composed of two hemispheres.

Detailed explanation-4: -It is in this region, known as the cerebral cortex, where most of the processing of the cerebrum takes place. The cerebral cortex is made of gray matter with billions of neurons forming trillions of synapses that produce many of the brain’s functions, including planning, creativity, and memory.
