Solution

The correct option is C Skeletal muscles
The cerebellum is an important centre for the central coordination of skeletal muscle activity. It is necessary for the cerebellum to be continually informed of progressing body movements and changes in skeletal muscle tone. This is accomplished by collaterals from the spindle afferents, which synapse in the nucleus dorsalis of the spinal cord.
So, the correct answer is 'Skeletal muscles'
