Show Worked Solution

C is correct: The cerebellum coordinates movement and balance while the parietal lobe processes spatial awareness, working together to integrate multiple sensory inputs during complex sporting actions.

Other Options:

A is incorrect: While frontal lobe plans movements, temporal lobe processes hearing and memory, not spatial coordination.
B is incorrect: These process vision and planning but lack the spatial awareness and coordination components.
D is incorrect: Brain stem controls basic functions and occipital lobe processes vision, missing movement coordination.
