A) thalamus

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The olfactory bulbs are responsible for processing and interpreting signals received from neurons in the sinus cavity that are activated by particular scents. The thalamus and hippocampus are also involved in sensory perception, but they are not specifically responsible for the sense of smell. "Opticfactory bulbs" is not a valid term.
