The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks which part of the brain contains areas that do not clearly perform sensory or motor functions. 2. **Identifying Brain Regions**: The options provided are: - Medulla - Cerebral Cortex - Grey Matter of Cerebrum - Option A and C 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Medulla**: This part of the brain is primarily involved in autonomic functions and does not have areas that fit the criteria of neither sensory nor motor. - **Cerebral Cortex**: This region has three main functional areas: sensory, motor, and association areas. The association areas are responsible for integrating information and do not fit strictly into either sensory or motor categories. - **Grey Matter of Cerebrum**: This consists of neuron cell bodies and is involved in processing information, but it does not specifically denote areas that are neither sensory nor motor. - **Option A and C**: Since Medulla does not fit the criteria, this option can be disregarded. 4. **Conclusion**: The cerebral cortex contains association areas that are neither sensory nor motor in function. Therefore, the correct answer is the **Cerebral Cortex**. **Final Answer**: Cerebral Cortex ---
