C
The cerebellum and the inner ear control balance through the nervous system. The major function of the cerebellum is to coordinate all voluntary movement. The pons deals with levels of arousal, consciousness, and sleep. The cerebrum controls thoughts, memory, decision making, and communication. The hypothalamus controls the autonomic functions of the peripheral nervous system.
