Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Lateralization refers to the specialization of function in one hemisphere of the cerebral cortex or the other. Temporalization is not a recognized term in neurology, and while there is an occipital lobe in the cerebral cortex, there is no such thing as an "occipital divide" in terms of specialized function.
