Answer 1

The prefrontal cortex is responsible for consciousness, inhibition of impulses, and use of memory. The prefrontal cortex controls all the executive functions of the brain that involve decision making and memory recall. The other cortices given in the options, however are involved in the core functions, like processing of visual stimuli (occipital cortex), memory formation (temporal cortex), and control of sensory organs (parietal cortex).
