a. parietal lobe
b. frontal lobe
c. temporal lobe
d. premotor cortex

Answer 1

Answer B.frontal lobe.

Explanation:

This lobe controls all cognative activities.since logical judgment is a cognitive activity this is the correct answer.

It is part of the brain largest portion called the cerebral cortex. Divided as left and right frontal lobes.

It is located at the front of the head enclosed in the front skull bones,where it divideds into Right and Left frontal lobes.

The right lobes controls the left sides of the body and the left controls the right sides of the body for voluntary movement and activities. Therefore ,it receives sensory imputs from all parts of the body to make judgments about the immediate environment.

NOTE: Parietal lobe coordinates information about temperature, taste.

Occipital lobe-coordinates vision with movement.

Temporal lobe-coordinates memory with taste, sight, sound.

Premotor cortex: coordinates muscle activities for exact movement
