Solution

The correct option is C
Motor

In vertebrates, motor neurons or motoneurons are efferent neurons that originate in the spinal cord and synapse with muscle fibers to facilitate muscle contraction and with muscle spindles to modify proprioceptive sensitivity. A motor neuron is one of the three types of neurons involved in this process.
