True

The crop productivity is basically affected by pests mainly weeds, pathogens and animals. According to a research by E.-C. OERKE, the potential loss to wheat and cotton crop was 50 % and 80 % respectively. 25-30 % of soya bean is lost every year due to pest attack. Out of all pests the most dangerous is the animal which as per an estimate has high potential of destroying the crops up to 34% while pathogens can destroy 16-18 % of crops.

Answer:

The correct answer is "temporal lobe".

Explanation:

The temporal lobe is the part of the brain involved in primary auditory perception by receiving sensory information from the ears and secondary areas and translating in into meaningful units such as speech and words. It was proved since 1954 by Mishkin and Pribram that the removal of the temporal lobe part of the brain produces a severe visual discrimination deficit in monkeys. This is the case for Maria's experiment, when the monkey was not able to differentiate between the rectangle and the cylinder anymore. Therefore, it is very likely that the part of the monkey's brain that was removed was the temporal lobe.
