B Correct answer
Explanation

The pons (varolii) is a structure on the ventral side of the brainstem that contains transverse fibers connecting the two cerebellar hemispheres. The corpus callosum connects cerebral hemispheres, not the cerebellum. Corpora quadrigemina is part of the midbrain, and medulla oblongata is the lower brainstem.
