Solution

The correct option is C Simple reflex arc consisting of one sensory neuron and one motor neuron
A simple reflex arc consists of only one sensory neuron and one motor neuron, hence the name is the monosynaptic reflex. A complex reflex arc or polysynaptic reflex is formed when the sensory neuron influences several motor neurons through intermediate (association) neurons of the spinal cord. Complex reflex arc consisting of two sensory neurons and one motor neuron.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
