Which statement helps explain why humans have a highly developed forebrain and midbrain compared to other primates?

The forebrain is involved in higher-level processes such as reasoning, planning, and decision-making. Humans’ ability for rational thought helps explain the development of these brain regions. Complex social skills, tool use, and communication also involve the brain, but rational thought most directly points to the forebrain’s advanced functions.
