Answer

Correct option: D.

regulation of body temperature.

d
(d) : Hypothalamus lies at the base of the thalamus. It provides anatomical connection between the nervous and endocrine systems by its relationship to the pituitary gland. Hypothalamus is thermoregulatory centre. Hence, it is called “thermostat” of the body. It keeps body temperature at roughly $37^°C$ by means of a complex thermostat system. Any localised injury to hypothalamus will, hence, disrupt regulation of body temperature.
