Answer 2

Folding of the cerebral cortex  allows for its  1.5 square-foot surface area to fit into the skull.

Option A

Explanation:

The cerebral cortex also known as the convoluted outer layer of the cerebrum. It can be bent and folded so that its surface area remains about 1.5 sq ft which can be folded into or packed into the skull area which was discovered by Hubel and Wiesel, in 1979.

Cerebrum is the biggest portion of the brain approximately constitute 75 percent of it and by weight 85 percent and it is divided into two right hemisphere and left hemisphere of brain which ultimately forms the whole cerebrum.
