Solution

The correct option is A

ANS


A reflex action is an involuntary and nearly instantaneous movement in response to a stimulus . When a person accidentally touches a hot object, they automatically jerk their hand away without thinking. A reflex does not require any thought input. The path taken by the nerve impulses in a reflex is called a reflex arc. In higher animals, most sensory neurons do not pass directly into the brain, but synapse in the spinal cord.
