Answer:

B. Cannot move his fingers

Step-by-step explanation:

The parietal lobe is so named because of the parietal bone that is situated directly above it in the brain. It is located at the rear part of the brain, and is responsible for the interpretation of sensory information and aids in physical navigation.

  • The parietal lobe is divided into two parts: the left hemisphere concerned with sensation and perception;
  • and right hemisphere concerned with integrating sensory input.

Damage to the parietal lobe can results in right-left confusion, difficulty with writing, difficulty with mathematics, disorders of language and the inability to perceive objects normally.

Therefore, the injury to Dmitris' parietal lobe results in his inability to move his fingers.
