(A) connections between the auditory nerve and the auditory cortex in the frontal lobe
(B) connections between the auditory nerve and the auditory cortex in the temporal lobe
(C) connections between the areas of the sensory cortex that receive messages from the ears and the auditory cortex
(D) connections between the hypothalamus and the auditory cortex in the temporal lobe
(E) connections between the left and right sensory areas of the cerebellum

(B) connections between the auditory nerve and the auditory cortex in the temporal lobe

Explanation
The auditory cortex is located in the temporal lobe and is connected to the inner ear by the auditory nerve. Other locations given for the auditory cortex are incorrect. The sensory cortex, hypothalamus, and cerebellum are not involved in hearing.
