Answer:

D) Left Parietal Lobe

Explanation:

The parietal lobe, which is one of the lobes of the brain, controls sensory perception and integration. It also contains the primary sensory cortex responsible for receiving and processing of sensory inputs such as taste, vision, smell, hearing and touch. The parietal lobe is divided into the right and the left parietal lobe.

The left parietal lobe is primarily responsible for interpretation of pain and touch.  Damage of the left parietal lobe  would most likely be the cause for the loss of sensation that Mr. Jenkins is experiencing.
