Solution

The correct options are
A Nerves
C Spinal cord
D Brain
In addition to the brain, the nervous system contains nerves that carry signals from the brain to every part of the body and from every part of the body to the brain. It also consists of the spinal cord.
The spinal cord is responsible for reflex action. When we accidentally touch a socket and get shocked, the signals are sent to the spinal cord instead of the brain and the spinal cord immediately sends the reflex response to the part of the body from where the signal came. This helps us respond quickly in case of emergencies.
