The correct answer is:

✅ D. Medulla oblongata

Explanation:
The medulla oblongata is part of the brainstem and controls involuntary actions like:

Heartbeat ❤️ (regulates heart rate)

Breathing 🌬️ (controls respiratory rate)

Blood pressure

Swallowing & digestion

Why Other Options Are Incorrect:
A. Olfactory lobe ❌ – Responsible for smell (olfaction), not heart rate or breathing.

B. Cerebellum ❌ – Controls balance, coordination, and muscle movement, not involuntary functions.

C. Cerebral hemisphere ❌ – Involved in thinking, memory, and voluntary actions, not automatic functions like breathing.

Thus, the correct answer is:
✅ D. Medulla oblongata
