Discrimination of objects that are necessary for survival (such as appropriate food) as well as emotional awareness and expression involves the

A) hippocampus.
B) occipital lobe.
C) medulla.
D) amygdala.

The amygdala plays a key role in emotional processing and expression, as well as in the discrimination of objects that are important for survival, such as appropriate food. The hippocampus is more involved in memory creation and retrieval, while the occipital lobe primarily processes visual information, and the medulla regulates autonomic functions such as respiration and blood pressure.
