Question

Assertion: Motor neurons are efferent neurons.
Reason: Motor neurons conduct nerve impulses from effector organs to the brain.

• A. Both the assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation for the assertion
• B. Both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation for the assertion
• C. Assertion is true but the reason is false
• D. Reason is true but the assertion is false

Answer 1

The correct option is C Assertion is true but the reason is false

All motor neurons are efferent neurons as these neurons send signals from the central nervous system to effector organs like muscles or glands for responding to the stimulus and perform their function. Efferent neurons are motor neurons that carry neural impulses away from the central nervous system and towards muscles to cause movement.
