Solution

The correct option is C
Association neurons

Association (connecting) are located in the brain and spinal cord, which interconnect the sensory and motor neurons. These neurons are found throughout the central nervous system and also interconnect other cells with one another. The main function of the association/connecting neurons in the spinal cord is that of inhibitory control i.e., permits an individual to inhibit their impulses and natural, habitual or dominant behavioral responses to stimuli.
