It's E. Suprachiasmatic nucleus.
Explanation: Circadian rhythms are controlled by the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the anterior hypothalamus, and the circadian clock controls many internal rhythms, including the sleep-wake cycle, which it keeps in tune with the day-night pattern of the external environment. Circadian rhythms are genetically determined and persist even in the absence of external time cues such as the day-night cycle.
