C
Temporal lobe
D
Frontal lobe
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the anatomy of the cerebrum, which is divided into four main lobes: frontal, parietal, occipital, and temporal.
Identify the lateral sulcus (also called the Sylvian fissure), which is a prominent groove on the surface of the brain that separates the frontal and parietal lobes from the temporal lobe.
Recognize that the lobe located inferior (below) to the lateral sulcus and beneath the temporal bone of the skull is the temporal lobe.
Recall the functions associated with the temporal lobe, such as processing auditory information and memory, to reinforce its anatomical location.
Conclude that the temporal lobe is the correct answer because it lies below the lateral sulcus and under the temporal bone.
