Carry impulses from CNS to effectors
A
afferent/sensory neurons
B
efferent/motor neurons
C
dendrites
D
axon terminals
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Afferent, or sensory, neurons carry impulses from peripheral sense receptors to the CNS. They usually have long dendrites and relatively short axons. 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-2: -Efferent nerve fibres conduct nerve impulses from the CNS to the effector organs such as muscles and glands.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sensory neurons are the neurons that carry impulses from receptor to the brain where the sensation is interpreted. Sensory neurons are afferent neurons since they take the sensation/stimulus towards the CNS, that is, the brain and the spinal cord.
