A
They are primarily responsible for processing visual information.
B
They are responsible for the production of speech.
C
They play a key role in auditory processing.
D
They are involved in the regulation of voluntary motor activities.
Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by identifying the primary function of the occipital lobes in the brain. The occipital lobes are located at the back of the brain and are primarily associated with visual processing.
Understand that the occipital lobes receive and interpret information from the eyes. This includes processing visual stimuli such as light, color, and movement.
Differentiate the functions of other brain lobes: The temporal lobes are involved in auditory processing and speech production, while the frontal lobes are associated with voluntary motor activities.
Recognize that the occipital lobes are not involved in speech production or auditory processing, which are functions of the temporal lobes.
Conclude that the statement 'They are primarily responsible for processing visual information' is true for the occipital lobes, as this is their main function.
