Answer
Cerebellum
Reason — The main function of the Cerebellum is to balance the body and coordinate muscular activities.
The cerebrum controls thinking, memory, intelligence, and voluntary actions, but it does not mainly coordinate muscle activity. The medulla controls involuntary actions like heartbeat and breathing, not muscular coordination.
