Solution

The correct option is C Brain
A reflex arc defines the pathway by which a reflex travels—from the stimulus to sensory neuron to motor neuron to reflex muscle movement. Brain is not involved in any reflex action (e.g., knee-jerk relfex) while the muscle spindle, inter neuron and motor neuron are the part of reflex arc.
