The cerebellum is in control of coordination, movement, and balance, so it's the cerebellum.

The right answer is cerebellum.

The cerebellum is a brain structure that is partially hidden by the cortex. Previously it was thought that this structure was only responsible for harmonizing our body movements (the coordination of movements), but in recent years it has become clear that it also participates in different cognitive functions.
