Answer:

The answer is: A. Hypothalamus.

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypothalamus is a region of the brain that is responsible for various bodily functions.

The hypothalamus controls the following processes or functions: 1.- body temperature in homeotherms; 2.- thirst and urine production, that is, controls the balance of water and salts in the body; 3.- the ingestion of food; 4.- uterine contractions and milk ejection in mammals; 5.- Coordinates the autonomic nervous system, which affects the smooth muscle and cardiac activity, as well as the exocrine glands; and 6.- plays a fundamental role in the behavior and expression of emotions. Part of these tasks are performed through intermediation or through the pituitary gland.

The answer is: A. Hypothalamus.
