Solution

The correct option is C reflex
The spinal cord is responsible for reflex actions. These are actions that need quick response in times of danger.

For example, if a person touches a hot cup of coffee by accident, they pull back their hand immediately. The signal of danger and injury is given by the spinal cord immediately.
