Answer #1

Answer :) Option c middle cerebral

Damage to the middle cerebral artery leads to sensory deficits, hemiparesis, and ataxia. The damage causes lesions in right or left hemisphere and especially affects the contralateral side. Characteristically it causes disturbance in primary motor and sensory areas of the throat, face, hand, and arm. Therefore, option c is the correct answer.
