Correct Answer
(B) Statement I is Correct but Statement II is incorrect.
Solution & Explanation
Answer: (b) Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect. Solution: Statement I is correct — the two cerebral hemispheres are connected by a tract of nerve fibres called the corpus callosum. Statement II is incorrect — the brain stem is made of midbrain, pons and medulla oblongata, not cerebrum; the cerebrum is part of the forebrain, not the brainstem. Hence only Statement I is correct. NCERT Reference: Ch 18, p.236, lines 07-08 — "The hemispheres are connected by a tract of nerve fibres called corpus callosum."
