Solution

The correct option is D S
Reflex reactions in humans are controlled by the reflex arc. When the safety of an organism demands a very quick response, the signals may be passed directly from a sensory neuron, via a relay neuron, to a motor neuron for instant action that is known as a reflex action. A reflex arc is the nerve pathway that makes such a fast and automatic response possible. The parts of the reflex arc are P- sensory neuron, Q- motor neuron, R- effector, S- center (where generally the sensory neuron synapses with the motor neuron).
So the correct answer is option D.
