Answer 1

a. anterior cingulate cortex; ventral prefrontal cortex

Step-by-step explanation:

The human brain includes, the Anterior Cingulate Cortex (ACC) resembles a bow or collar surrounding the frontal part of the corpus callosum. This is the frontal part of the cingulate cortex which helps to make complex cognitive functions such as impulse control, decision-making, emotions and empathy.

Ventral prefrontal cortex in humans are interconnected with the brain and are responsible for the processing of risk, empathy, fear and social decision-making.
