A
homonymous hemianopsia
B
asterognosis
C
visual agnosia
D
contralateral deficits of voluntary movement and conscious somatosensation
E

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -When the posterior limb of the internal capsule is affected by stroke, it generally affects movement and coordination. In fact, the most common effect of internal capsule strokes is pure motor hemiplegia. Pure motor hemiplegia results in strictly movement-related effects on one side of the body.

Detailed explanation-2: -The posterior limb of the internal capsule contains corticospinal fibers, sensory fibers (including the medial lemniscus and the anterolateral system) from the body and a few corticobulbar fibers.

Detailed explanation-3: -The anterior limb of the internal capsule (ALIC) carries thalamic and brainstem fibers from prefrontal cortical regions that are associated with different aspects of emotion, motivation, cognition processing, and decision-making.
