Explanation

The hypothalamus, located in the fore-brain, contains centres that regulate hunger, thirst, and body temperature. Examiners expect students to identify Option C and, if asked, name the hypothalamus as the specific region. Options A and B relate to the cerebrum; Option D is incorrect as olfactory lobes are not in the mid-brain and are not linked to hunger.
