Answer»

Correct option is (a) with no gyri and sulci

The explanation is: Lissencephaly is a neuronal defect that is present right from BIRTH. It may or may not be detected in the fetal stage. In this DISORDER, the BRAIN in smooth without the presence of any gyri and sulci. A child born with lissencephaly often has a normal head structure so it is often difficult to detect the presence of this defect TILL a LATER age.
