Sison Asnawi · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : D, Explanation :  The procedure described in the question is that of a prefrontal lobotomy, which involves severing the connections from parts of the brain that control emotions. A limbic curettage involves physically removing parts of the limbic system, trephining involves drilling holes in the skull, and ECT involves passing electric currents through the brain. None of these procedures specifically target the emotional control centers of the brain, as the prefrontal lobotomy does.
