• B. (i) and (iii)
• C. (i) and (ii)
• D. (ii) and (iii)

Answer 1

The correct option is D (ii) and (iii)

• Voluntary actions are those which can be controlled by us like clapping, dancing, jumping, running, etc.
• Whereas, involuntary actions are those which cannot be regulated or stopped by us like the circulation of blood, heartbeat, etc. Hence, reflex actions are involuntary actions that are done to save oneself from danger.

Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
