Solution

The correct option is C sensory, skin
The nerve pathway followed by a reflex action is called a reflex arc. For example, a simple reflex arc happens if we accidentally touch something hot.

Sensory rceceptor in the skin detects a stimulus (the change in temperature).

Sensory neurone sends impulses to relay neurone.

Motor neurone sends impulses to effector.

Effector produces a response (muscle contracts to move hand away).

One of the following gives the correct sequence of the components in a reflex arc. This is :

(a) Receptors $\to$ Muscle $\to$ Sensory neuron $\to$ Motor neuron $\to$ Spinal cord

(b) Receptors $\to$ Motor neuron $\to$ Spinal cord $\to$ Sensory neuron $\to$ Muscle

(d) Receptors $\to$ Sensory neuron $\to$ Spinal cord $\to$ Motor neuron $\to$ Muscle

The sequence of the components of a reflex arc is

$R e c e p t o r s \to S p i n a l c o r d \to S e n s o r y n e u r o n \to M o t o r n e u r o n \to M u s c l e s$
