The correct answer is the dopamine reward system. 

The dopamine reward system in the brain is implicated in reward seeking behavior, praise and monetary rewards, addictive substances and feelings of love. When a person experiences feelings of love or passion, fMRI studies (brain scans) indicate that regions in the brain's dopamine reward system (particularly the caudate nucleus and putamen areas) show an increase in activity and functioning.
