Answer:

The correct answer is option a, that is, cerebellum.

Explanation:

Alcohol acts as a CNS depressant. When more amount of alcohol is taken and the levels of alcohol rise within the body, some sections of the brain get influenced and a reduction in the functioning is witnessed in that particular part.  

The region of the brain accountable for coordinating movement and also some kinds of learning seems to be sensitive specifically to the consumption of alcohol. Thus, cerebellum is the part of the brain, which gets most affected due to the consumption of alcohol. Therefore, test is performed to witness the balance of an individual, as cerebellum is the part of the brain responsible for appropriate posture and balance.
