None of the above

Detailed explanation-1: -Motor or efferent neurons transmit impulses from the central nervous system towards the effectors (muscle or glands), while sensory neurons transmit impulses from the sense organs towards the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord).
Detailed explanation-2: -Efferent, or motor, neurons transmit impulses from the CNS to effector organs such as muscles and glands. Efferent neurons usually have short dendrites and long axons.
Detailed explanation-3: -Sensory neurons typically have a long dendrite and short axon, and carry messages from sensory receptors to the central nervous system. Motor neurons have a long axon and short dendrites and transmit messages from the central nervous system to the muscles (or to glands).
Detailed explanation-4: -Efferent neurons transmit signals from the central nervous system to the effector cells and are sometimes called motor neurons.
Detailed explanation-5: -Motor neurons transmit information from the CNS to effectors (muscles or glands), in order to initiate a response.
