Solution

The correct option is C

Assertion [A] is True and Reason [R] is True and is a correct explanation to [A].


The Neural System is specialised to perform varied functions.

Based on function they perform, we can divide the nervous system into Central Nervous System (CNS) and Peripheral Nervous System (PNS). The PNS constitutes all the nerves and ganglia that lie outside the CNS. The main function of the PNS is to connect the central nervous system (CNS) to the limbs and organs, essentially serving as a communication relay going back and forth between the brain and the extremities.
