Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A reflex is an automatic response that occurs very rapidly and without conscious control.

Detailed explanation-2: -A reflex is an involuntary and nearly instantaneous movement in response to a stimulus. The reflex is an automatic response to a stimulus that does not receive or need conscious thought as it occurs through a reflex arc. Reflex arcs act on an impulse before that impulse reaches the brain.

Detailed explanation-3: -A reflex is a rapid automatic response to a stimulus. When you accidentally touch a hot object and automatically jerk your hand away, this is a reflex action.
