The insula is located below which structure?

Explanation:
The insula sits tucked inside the lateral (Sylvian) fissure and is covered by the opercular parts of the frontal, parietal, and temporal lobes. Those opercula form a lid over the insula, so the insula lies below the operculum. The other options refer to the major lobes that overlie the insula, not the structure that directly covers it.
