Solution

The correct option is B
sensory neurons

When a stimulus is perceived by the sense organs, it is sent for processing to the brain or the spinal cord via the sensory neuron. Once it is interpreted in the central nervous system, the impulse passes through the interneuron to the motor neuron which passes on the impulse to the effector organ to bring about the response.
