The correct option is D Conversion of short term to long term memory
Hypothalamus lies at the base of the thalamus. The hypothalamus contains a number of centres which control body temperature, urge for eating and drinking. Hypothalamus is also involved in the regulation of sexual behaviour, expression of emotional reactions (e.g., excitement, pleasure, rage and fear) and motivation.

Hippocampus is a part of limbic system. It converts short term memory to long term memory.
