B Correct answer
Explanation

The limbic system is responsible for memory formation and emotional regulation. When alcohol affects this area, it causes the characteristic 'blackouts' (fuzzy or missing memories) and exaggerated or uninhibited emotional responses that occur with intoxication. The cerebellum coordinates movement, and the medulla controls vital functions like breathing.
