Solution

The correct option is C

Central nervous system


There are two kinds of reflexes - spinal reflexes and brain reflexes. Both the reflexes are hence controlled by the central nervous system which comprises the brain and the spinal cord.

The central nervous system (CNS) controls most functions of the body and mind.

- The brain is the center of our thoughts, emotions and sensations, the interpreter of our external environment, and the origin of control over body movement.

- The spinal cord is the highway for communication between the body and the brain.

Reflex actions occur both from the brain and spinal cord. Most often these actions are mainly formed from the spinal cord. When sudden responses are required, instructions are given by the spinal cord itself.
