Explanation / Answer

Lobotomy refers to a surgery which includes incisions made in the prefrontal cortex of the brain. Lobotomy was typically thought to treat mental illness by cutting off connections with certain parts of the brain. The prefrontal cortex of the cerebral cortex of the brain stimulates the sympathetic nervous system which was affected when McMurphy was given a lobotomy.

Thus, the correct answer is option, B.
