ANS: A
Rationale: Three cortical areas are dedicated to processing auditory information. The primary auditory cortex is the site of conscious awareness of the intensity of sounds. An adjacent cortical area, the secondary auditory cortex, compares sounds with memories of other sounds. It then categorizes the sounds as language, music, or noise. Comprehension of spoken language occurs in yet another cortical area, called Wernicke's area.
