Answer 1

Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.

Explanation:

The cerebrum in the human brain is divided longitudinally into the left and right cerebral hemispheres by a deep split. A network of nerve fibres known as the corpus callosum connects the brain hemispheres. The brain stem is divided into three main regions: the medulla oblongata, pons, and midbrain. The cerebrum is a portion of the forebrain that does not constitute the brain stem.
