A,B Incorrect: The decerebrate condition depends on descending activity from the vestibulospinal tract, uninhibited by higher structures. Stimulation of the anterior lobe would then be expected to modulate the reflexes.
C is Correct
D Incorrect: Cutting the dorsal roots is the only way to abolish decerebrate rigidity.
