Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The precentral gyrus is located in the frontal lobe of the brain, specifically the posterior portion of the frontal lobe. It is also known as the primary motor cortex and is responsible for voluntary movements of the body.

(Note: B is incorrect because the primary visual cortex is located in the occipital lobe, C is incorrect because the primary somatosensory area is located in the postcentral gyrus, and D is incorrect because there is no structure in the brain known as the vital center.)
