Solution
The correct option is A Digestion
A reflex, or reflex action, is an involuntary and nearly instantaneous movement in response to a stimulus. A reflex is made possible by neural pathways called reflex arcs which can act on an impulse before that impulse reaches the brain.In a reflex action, the spinal cord along with the brain stem is responsible for the reflex movements. A few examples of reflex action are: when light acts as a stimulus, the pupil of the eye changes in size, sudden jerky withdrawal of hand or leg when pricked by a pin.
