The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Concept:
Cerebellar lesions primarily affect coordination, timing, and precision of movements rather than producing involuntary movements.

Step 1: Dysdiadochokinesia.


• Inability to perform rapid alternating movements Thus: \[ B: Correct \]

Step 2: Dysynergia.


• Breakdown of coordinated movement into components Thus: \[ C: Correct \]

Step 3: Incorrect options.


• A: Chorea → basal ganglia disorder
• D: Athetosis → basal ganglia disorder
• E: Hemiballismus → subthalamic nucleus lesion

Step 4: Final conclusion.

\[ \boxed{\text{Correct answer = Option (1)}} \]
