The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about the part of the brain that controls voluntary muscular coordination. This means we need to identify which structure is responsible for coordinating movements that we consciously control. 2. **Identifying the Options**: The options provided are: - A) Cerebellum - B) Hypothalamus - C) Medulla oblongata - D) Cerebral hemisphere 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Cerebellum**: This part of the brain is known for its role in coordinating voluntary movements, balance, and posture. It integrates sensory information to fine-tune motor activity. - **Hypothalamus**: This region primarily regulates autonomic functions and homeostasis, such as temperature control and hunger, rather than voluntary muscle coordination. - **Medulla Oblongata**: This structure is involved in regulating involuntary functions like breathing and heart rate, not voluntary movements. - **Cerebral Hemisphere**: While the cerebral hemispheres are involved in higher brain functions including voluntary movement, they do not specifically coordinate muscular movements as effectively as the cerebellum. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the cerebellum is the part of the brain that specifically controls voluntary muscular coordination. Therefore, the correct answer is **Option A: Cerebellum**. 5. **Final Answer**: Voluntary muscular coordination is under the control of the cerebellum. ---
