Lobe that understands words and language. Also involved in visual memory.
A
occipital
B
temporal
C
frontal
D
parietal
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Your temporal lobe contributes to these in the following ways: Memory: Inside your temporal lobe is your hippocampus, which is essential for several memory-related processes and abilities. Language: The temporal lobe gives you the ability to understand the meaning of words and objects.

Detailed explanation-2: -They are most commonly associated with processing auditory information and with the encoding of memory. The temporal lobes are also believed to play an important role in processing affect/emotions, language, and certain aspects of visual perception.

Detailed explanation-3: -Wernicke’s area is a critical language area in the posterior superior temporal lobe connects to Broca’s area via a neural pathway. Wernicke’s area is primarily involved in the comprehension. Historically, this area has been associated with language processing, whether it is written or spoken.

Detailed explanation-4: -Parietal lobe. The parietal lobe houses Wernicke’s area, which helps the brain understand spoken language.

Detailed explanation-5: -The medial temporal lobe memory system is needed to bind together the distributed storage sites in neocortex that represent a whole memory. However, the role of this system is only temporary. As time passes after learning, memory stored in neocortex gradually becomes independent of medial temporal lobe structures.
