Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Midbrain . Mesencephalon is a term derived from Greek (meso meaning middle, encephalon meaning brain), and it refers to the midbrain, a region of the brainstem located between the forebrain (prosencephalon) and hindbrain (rhombencephalon). The midbrain is involved in functions like vision, hearing, and motor control. Choice A, Pons, is incorrect because the pons is part of the metencephalon, not the mesencephalon. Choice B, Cerebellum, is also wrong as it is another structure of the metencephalon, responsible for coordination and balance, not the midbrain. Choice D, Medulla, refers to the medulla oblongata, part of the myelencephalon, located below the midbrain, making it an incorrect choice. Thus, Midbrain directly corresponds to Mesencephalon, making C the correct answer.
