The central sulcus, also known as the fissure of Rolando, separates the frontal lobe (anteriorly) from the parietal lobe (posteriorly). Therefore, option B (frontal; parietal) is the correct answer. A is incorrect because the temporal lobe is located inferiorly and posteriorly to the frontal lobe, and they are separated by the lateral sulcus. C is incorrect because the parietal and occipital lobes are separated by the parieto-occipital sulcus. D is incorrect because the occipital lobe is located posteriorly and inferiorly to the parietal lobe, and they are separated by the parieto-occipital sulcus.
