Solution

The correct option is D Cranial nerves

  1. The afferent neurons are also known as the sensory neurons, they bring the stimuli from the sensors (e.g., skin, eyes, ears) to the CNS.
  2. The efferent neurons are also known as motor neurons, they bring the responses from the brain to the muscles and the glands.
  3. Spinal nerves carry information from organs to the spinal cord and these have a major role in the reflex action
  4. Cranial nerves originate in the brain and distribute to other parts and carry information. So, the correct answer is option D.
