Answer 1

The correct answer will be option-Cochlear nucleus

Step-by-step explanation:

Cochlear nucleus is the centre of the neurons called nucleus where the cochlear nerves or auditory nerves bring the information from the inner ear cochlea.

The cochlear nucleus is composed of two nucleus- ventral cochlear nucleus (unlayered) and dorsal cochlear nucleus( layered).

The auditory nerves bring the information to the ventral cochlear nucleus and then to the dorsal nucleus where the nucleus processes the information.

Thus, the cochlear nucleus is the correct answer.
