"Anterior" means toward the front or "rostral" end of the brain, while "dorsal" means toward the top or "superior" portion. Therefore, the best description of a brain region that is anterior and dorsal to the thalamus would be "rostral" and "superior." Choice D is the only option that lists both of these terms.
