The area of the brain involved with comprehension of speech is
a.
broca’s area
b.
wernicke’s area
c.
the occipital lobe
d.
the parietal lobe

The area of the brain involved with comprehension of speech is Wernicke area.

Further Explanation:

The motor neurons are present in the Wernicke part of the brain situated in the further back of the upper temporal of the left hemisphere. The left hemisphere is present near to the auditory cortex. The left hemisphere is the region responsible for generating and understanding the speech. This area is considered as the receptive language or language comprehensive.

Broca’s zone of the brain sends information related to the intended speech to the motor nerves which then sends the signal to the muscle involved in the speech formation to produce the vocalization and the Wernicke area make sure the vocalization of the given information make sense and comprehensively correct.

Wernicke aphasia is the common language disorder caused by the damage in the temporal lobe and the person suffer from understanding the language.
