What region receives information from the visual and auditory senses..
A
Hypothalamus
B
Cerebellum
C
Reticular formation
D
Midbrain
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Similar to the parietal lobe, the occipital lobe receives information from the retina and then uses past visual experiences to interpret and recognize the stimuli. Lastly, the temporal lobe processes auditory stimuli through the auditory cortex.

Detailed explanation-2: -The temporal lobe contains critical areas that process and retain visual and auditory information. The primary auditory cortex is contained here, as is Wernicke’s area which is critical for language comprehension. The temporal lobe is also responsible for the ventral or “what” pathway of visual processing.

Detailed explanation-3: -On the other hand, the medial geniculate nuclei relay auditory information between the inferior colliculus of the midbrain and the primary auditory cortex.

Detailed explanation-4: -The tectum is the top portion of the midbrain that is responsible for both visual and auditory reflexes.
