Answer:

The damaged structures would be C. Amygdala and hippocampus

Step-by-step explanation:

The limbic system is the portion of the brain in charge of emotions as well as instincts. It is known as the emotional brain.

Its structures include:

  • Amygdala
  • Hippocampus
  • Thalamus
  • Hypothalamus
  • Basal ganglia
  • Cingulate gyrus

If the limbic system were to be destroyed, the damaged structures would be any of the ones listed above.

The cerebellum and corpus callosum are not part of the limbic system.
