A
Amygdala
B
Cingulate gyrus
C
Fornix
D
Hippocampus
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The amygdala helps coordinate responses to things in your environment, especially those that trigger an emotional response. This structure plays an important role in fear and anger.

Detailed explanation-2: -The cingulate gyrus is an arch-shaped convolution situated just above the corpus callosum. The frontal portion is termed the anterior cingulate gyrus (or cortex). A component of the limbic system, it is involved in processing emotions and behavior regulation. It also helps to regulate autonomic motor function.

Detailed explanation-3: -The regions that are implicated in the “kindling” phenomenon include regions of the limbic cortex, such as the amygdala and enterorhinal cortex, which may be implicated in impulsive aggression.

Detailed explanation-4: -The limbic system controls the experience and expression of emotions, as well as some automatic functions of the body. By producing emotions (such as fear, anger, pleasure, and sadness), the limbic system enables people to behave in ways that help them communicate and survive physical and psychologic upsets.
