The correct option is C
Voluntary action

A voluntary action is basically an action which you yourself initiate by your own consciousness. Your cerebral cortex (brain) sends impulses to the effectors (muscles or glands) via the spinal cord with relay neurons and finally a motor neuron.This action is under the control of the will, thus it is known as a voluntary action.
