Explanation

The cerebral cortex is the outermost layer of the brain and covers the cerebral hemispheres, which are the two largest and most prominent structures in the brain. It is responsible for many important functions, such as consciousness, perception, memory, thought, language, and voluntary movement. The cerebral cortex is divided into four main lobes: the frontal lobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe, and occipital lobe. Each lobe has its unique functions and plays a vital role in the overall functioning of the brain. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.
