Question 4 of 5
Which part of the brain involved with visual recognition, auditory, perception, memory and emotions?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The temporal lobes are responsible for auditory perception, memory (via the hippocampus), emotions (via the amygdala), and some visual recognition tasks (e.g., object recognition). Frontal lobes (A) manage executive functions and personality, Parietal lobes (B) handle sensory integration, and Occipital lobes (D) focus primarily on visual processing, not the full range described.

Option D defines social phobia, not specific phobias.
