Answer:
The correct answer is -
a. has a grossly enlarged face and hands compared to torso and limbs
c. is distorted because of the disproportionate representation of certain body parts relative to others in the somatosensory cortex
Explanation:
" Homunculus" is a graphical representation of a small but fully grown man which the foetus is believed to develop whereas somatosensory homunculus is a neurological representation of the brain of humans that shows the motor and sensory functions of the body.
It has a large number of sensory nerves from the hand that take a large part of the brain. The face also has many nerve endings and are represented by large areas of the homunculus. A distorted look comes from this uneven representation of different body parts in the homunculus.
