Solution

The correct option is A Receptor to C.N.S
Afferent neurons (also known as sensory or receptor neurons), carry nerve impulses from receptors or sense organs toward the central nervous system. Afferent neurons' somas are located in the peripheral nervous system and the axons of these cells travel from ganglion to ganglion and lead back to the spinal cord.
So, the correct answer is option B.
