Solution

We move our hand away from a hot object. This is due to responsiveness to stimuli. When we touch a hot object the sense organs feel the temperature and the hand is withdrawn. The stimulus is carried to the brain by the sensory neuron while it is carried back to effector organs by motor neurons.
