Solution

The correct option is D Sensory nerves
Sensory nerve is a nerve that carries sensory information i.e., sound, feeling, sight etc. to the central nervous system (spinal cord and brain). These are responsible for converting the external stimuli from the organism's environment into internal electrical impulses. For example, a sensory neuron in response to tactile stimuli activates motor neurons to achieve muscle contraction.
So, the correct answer is option D.
