Occipital Lobe

The region of the brain located at the back of the head, responsible for processing visual information.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The occipital lobe is responsible for processing visual information, including receiving input from the retina through the optic nerve. Therefore, option C is the correct choice. The hypothalamus regulates various autonomic processes such as temperature control and hunger, while the cornea is the transparent outer layer of the eye that helps to focus light. The cerebellum is primarily involved in coordinating movement and balance, and does not play a significant role in visual processing.
