Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Opiates impair cognitive functioning in the frontal cortex (affects decision making, impulsivity, and attention) and hippocampus (affects memory formation and consolidation). The cerebellum primarily controls movement and coordination, so it is not typically associated with cognitive functioning.
