A
to muscles
B
to glands
C
to the nervous system
D
to the skeleton
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Dendrites are finger-like projections that receive sensory input and transmit the signal through the axon to the cell body. Unipolar cell bodies of sensory neurons are located within sensory ganglia which may be in the dorsal root of the spinal cord or along cranial nerves.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sensory nerves report information to the brain. It is a one-way communication from the body to the brain. Motor nerves respond by sending messages from the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) to the body for movement. Motor nerves send messages in the opposite direction from the CNS to the body.

Detailed explanation-3: -Afferent or sensory neurons collect stimuli received by receptors throughout the body, including the skin, eyes, ears, nose, tongue as well as pain and other receptors in the internal organs. Sensory information is transmitted to the central nervous system, which includes the brain and spinal cord.
