The primary somatic sensory area is located in the cerebrum, specifically the parietal lobe. This area is responsible for processing sensory information from the skin, muscles, and joints.

Other options:
A) cerebellum - involved in motor coordination and balance, not sensory processing
B) brain stem - involved in functions such as breathing, heart rate, and consciousness, not sensory processing
D) diencephalon - includes the thalamus, which is involved in relaying sensory information to the cortex, but not the primary processing of sensory information.
