Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The spinal cord acts as a conduit for signals between the brain and rest of the body. It also controls simple musculoskeletal reflexes without input from the brain.

Detailed explanation-2: -In reflex actions, a reflex arc is formed by impulses from the receptor reaching the spinal cord and the appropriate reflex impulse then being sent to the muscles by the spinal cord.

Detailed explanation-3: -Reflex signals that cause movement do not come from your brain. A reflex signal comes from the nerves in your body, like sensory signals, but instead of going to your brain, they stop at the spinal cord. Once they reach the spinal cord, they loop through and go straight back to the body part they came from.

Detailed explanation-4: -Which of the following is true of spinal reflex? They involve sending sensory messages to the spinal cord that immediately trigger a motor response. Spinal reflexes are automatic responses that occur without conscious effort. In fact, spinal reflexes do not even require the brain to occur.
