Respuesta :

Wernicke's area was probably injured in his accident.

Option: B

Explanation:

The Wernicke area is the brain region which is required for the development of languages. It is situated in the temporal lobe on the left side of the brain and is essential for speech comprehension, whereas the region of Broca is connected to speech output.

The area is situated in the cerebral hemisphere's left portion generally near posterior region of the Superior Temporal Gyrus (STG).The brain's section named as lateral sulcus where the gathering of temporal lobe and parietal lobe take place in the auditory cortex, is covered in this zonal area.
