The ventral tegmental area (VTA) is a part of the mesolimbic system found in the midbrain that is involved with the release of dopamine in response to rewarding stimuli, and plays a critical role in behavioral reward. The other options, Corpora quadrigemina, substantia nigra, and nigrostriatal system, are also parts of the mesolimbic system but are not directly involved in behavioral reward.
