Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Impaired language abilities are more typically associated with damage to areas such as Broca's area (located in the frontal lobe but specifically associated with speech production) and Wernicke's area (located in the temporal lobe and associated with language comprehension), rather than general frontal lobe damage which is more closely related to changes in personality, problem-solving, and emotional regulation.
