Answer 1

Answer:

C. Foramen Magnum

The brain is made up of three primary areas - the forebrain, midbrain and hindbrain. The forebrain consists of the cerebrum and the top part of the brainstem. The midbrain, made up of the middle part of the brainstem, joins the forebrain to the hindbrain. The hindbrain includes the bottom part of the brain stem and the cerebellum. The foramen magnum is the hole in the base of the skull where the bottom of the brain stem, the medulla oblongata, meets the spinal cord.
