Solution

The correct option is D Both B and C
A reflex action can be defined as an involuntary and instantaneous movement in response to a stimulus e.g., moving of our hand away when we touch a hot object. Sneezing is an involuntary response to an irritation of the nose or respiratory tract. Such a response is also known as a reflex action. Hence, the correct answer is option D.
