When the corpus callosum is cut, the two hemispheres of the brain cannot communicate effectively with each other. This can lead to contradictory actions or statements, such as saying "I don't know" with the left side of the brain while the right side points to the correct answer. This is known as "split-brain" syndrome. Option A is a contradiction but may not necessarily be related to the corpus callosum. Option C is also possible but may not always occur in individuals with a cut corpus callosum. Option D is not a self-contradiction.
