The key is D. Brain stem. [Cerebral cortex will not cause features of cranial nerve lesions. Trigeminal
nerve: ophthalmic and maxillary divisions are pure sensory hence it is also not the answer. Oculomotor
does not cause facial numbness. These features are not of basal ganglia lesion also. These features only
can be explained by cranial nerve involvement in brainstem lesion].
