A
Cerebrum
B
Cerebellum
C
Brain
D
Spinal Cord
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cerebellum. This is the back of the brain. It coordinates voluntary muscle movements and helps to maintain posture, balance, and equilibrium.

Detailed explanation-2: -The cerebellum sits at the back of your head, under the cerebrum. It controls coordination and balance. The brain stem sits beneath your cerebrum in front of your cerebellum.

Detailed explanation-3: -The cerebellum-also called the “little brain” because it looks like a small version of the cerebrum-is responsible for balance, movement, and coordination. The pons and the medulla, along with the midbrain, are often called the brainstem.

Detailed explanation-4: -The flocculonodular lobe. It is the oldest part of the brain in evolutionary terms (archicerebellum) and participates mainly in balance and spatial orientation. Its primary connections are with the vestibular nuclei, although it also receives visual and other sensory input.

Detailed explanation-5: -The portion of the brain in the back of the head between the cerebrum and the brain stem. The cerebellum controls balance for walking and standing, and other complex motor functions.
