Cerebrum
C
Medulla
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The cerebellum is important for making postural adjustments in order to maintain balance. Through its input from vestibular receptors and proprioceptors, it modulates commands to motor neurons to compensate for shifts in body position or changes in load upon muscles.

Detailed explanation-2: -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. The brainstem takes in, sends out, and coordinates the brain’s messages.
