The amygdala is located near the hippocampus and is responsible for fear responses and memory of fear. The hypothalamus plays a role in regulating the body's response to fear, but it is not specifically responsible for memory of fear. The fornix is a fiber tract that connects the hippocampus to other brain regions but is not directly involved in fear or memory of fear. Therefore, the correct answer is D) amygdala.
