Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In frogs, salamanders, and other simple vertebrates, retinal ganglion cells project primarily to the tectum, which is responsible for processing visual information and controlling visual reflexes. They do not have a well-developed thalamus, cerebellum, or visual cortex like more advanced vertebrates such as birds and mammals. The tegmentum is involved in motor control and sensory processing, but not specifically visual processing. Therefore, the best choice is B.
