ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONS




A) Blue

This answer is incorrect.


The area shaded blue in this illustration corresponds to the parietal lobe. It is pretty far posterior, but at least in this illustration, the green occipital lobe is further posterior. The blue parietal lobe does lie superior to the occipital lobe.  (See References)
