  • The medulla oblongata is the part of the brainstem, that is situated between the pons and the spinal cord.
  • The medulla contains the cardiac, respiratory, vomiting and vasomotor centers and therefore deals with the autonomic (involuntary) functions of breathing, heart rate and blood pressure.
  • Thus compression of the medulla oblongata will lead to instant death.
  • So, option A is correct here.
