Answer:

Family resemblance (German: Familienähnlichkeit) is a philosophical idea made popular by Ludwig Wittgenstein, with the best known exposition given in his posthumously published book Philosophical Investigations (1953).[1] It argues that things which could be thought to be connected by one essential common feature may in fact be connected by a series of overlapping similarities, where no one feature is common to all of the things. Games, which Wittgenstein used as an example to explain the notion, have become the paradigmatic example of a group that is related by family resemblances. It has been suggested that Wittgenstein picked up the idea and the term from Nietzsche, who had been using it, as did many nineteenth century philologists, when discoursing about language families.[2]

The correct answer is the occipital lobe.

The occipital lobe is a part of the brain located at the bottom and back of the brain (see attached image). This part of the brain is primarily responsible for processing and making sense of visual information we receive from our eyes. Damage or trauma to the occipital lobe leads to "visual confusion"- not being able to properly process or assign meaning to visual information.
