C
Temporal
D
Insula
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The CeA is the final output pathway of the amygdala, responsible for translating sensory information into appropriate behavioral and physiological responses.

Detailed explanation-2: -Subsequent research findings have implicated the insula in an overwhelming variety of functions ranging from sensory processing to representing feelings and emotions, autonomical and motor control, risk prediction and decision-making, bodily-and self-awareness, and complex social functions like empathy.

Detailed explanation-3: -(1) The insula cortex receives multisensory information. In this example, it reacts to hearing or seeing people. (2) It processes the salience of incoming stimuli, that is, it responds more to the known (red silhouette) than to the unknown persons (grey silhouettes).
