ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONS

A) Lateral geniculate nucleus

This answer is incorrect.

The brachium of the inferior colliculus is a broad, low ridge extending rostrally from the inferior colliculus → continuation of the ascending auditory pathway, projecting from the inferior colliculus → thalamic relay nucleus for hearing (the medial geniculate nucleus).  (See References)
