As we have learnt:

Forebrain: Cerebrum

  • The cerebral hemispheres or cerebrum is the largest part of the brain occupying about two-thirds of the entire brain. 
  • It consists of left and right hemispheres connected by a large bundle of myelinated fibres, the corpus callosum and other smaller fibre bundles.
  • The outer portion of the cerebrum is called the cerebral cortex that makes up the grey matter of the cerebrum.
  • The surface of the cortex is highly folded. 
  • The upward folds are called gyri (sing. gyrus).
  • They alternate with the downward grooves called or sulci (sing. sulcus).
  • Below the grey matter millions of myelinated nerve fibres are present that connect the neurons of the cerebral cortex with those located elsewhere in the brain. 
  • The large concentration of myelinated nerve fibres gives this tissue an opaque white appearance. Hence they are collectively called White matter.

 

The left and right cerebral hemispheres are connected by a large bundle of myelinated fibres, the corpus callosum. Hence, the correct answer is option b.
