Which is the main motor area?
A
Premotor area
B
Wernicke’s area
C
Broca’s speech area
D
Frontal eye field area
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -New research shows that Broca’s area, located in the frontal cortex and shown here in color, plans the process of speech by interacting with the temporal cortex, where sensory information is processed, and the motor cortex, which controls movements of the mouth.

Detailed explanation-2: -Frontal Lobes These include motor skills such as voluntary movement, speech, intellectual and behavioral functions. The areas that produce movement in parts of the body are found in the primary motor cortex or precentral gyrus.

Detailed explanation-3: -Wernicke area, region of the brain that contains motor neurons involved in the comprehension of speech. This area was first described in 1874 by German neurologist Carl Wernicke.

Detailed explanation-4: -Recap. Wernicke’s area and Broca’s area are two areas of the brain that play a part in language. Broca’s area is associated with language production, while Wernicke’s area is associated with language comprehension.
