Correct Answer
A. FExplanation
The right hemisphere of the brain does not control the right side of the body. In fact, the opposite is true. The left hemisphere of the brain controls the right side of the body, while the right hemisphere controls the left side of the body. This is due to the way in which the nerves in the brain cross over to the opposite side of the body.Rate this question:
