Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Severing the corpus callosum, which connects the two hemispheres of the brain, results in a condition known as "split brain." This procedure can be used to treat severe epilepsy but does not typically result in loss of consciousness, inability to walk, or inability to form new memories.
