Question

Blinking of eyes is a reflex action.

• A. Reflex action
• B. Voluntary action

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Voluntary action

Blinking of eyes is not a reflex action, but it is an involuntary action. A reflex action is one which occurs spontaneously whereas involuntary action happens without the conscious choice of an organism. The way the iris in our eye adjusts the size of the pupil in response to sudden bright or dim light is a reflex action. But blinking of eyes is an involuntary action.
