Solution
The correct option is B Secretion of sweat
The process of response to a peripheral nervous stimulation, that occurs involuntarily, i.e., without conscious effort or thought and requires the involvement of a part of the central nervous system is called a reflex action.
Sweating is not a reflex action. It is primarily a means of temperature regulation. But, salivation on seeing food, hand withdrawal because of the needle and blinking of the eyes due to bright light are all examples of reflex actions.
