Model Answer
(A) (i), (ii) and (iii)
Statements (i), (ii), and (iii) are correct. Statement (iv) is false because cerebellum does control posture and balance.
Source: Chapter 6, Section 6.1.2 Human Brain
Explanation
- Statement (iv) is clearly wrong — the textbook states cerebellum is responsible for maintaining posture and balance. Eliminating it instantly rules out options B, C, and D.
- Statements (i), (ii), and (iii) are directly supported: forebrain = thinking part; forebrain has centres for smell, hearing, sight, memory; medulla (hind-brain) controls salivation, vomiting, blood pressure.
- In MCQs, identify the false statement first to eliminate wrong options quickly.
