ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONS

---

A) Pink

This answer is incorrect.

The area shaded pink in this illustration corresponds to the cerebellum. It is pretty far posterior, but at least in this illustration, the green occipital lobe is further posterior. The pink cerebellum is further caudal than the occipital lobe is, however.  (See References)
