Type of neuron that perceive information about your environment.
A
Motor Neuron
B
Interneuron
C
Sensory Neuron
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Sensory neurons are the nerve cells that are activated by sensory input from the environment-for example, when you touch a hot surface with your fingertips, the sensory neurons will be the ones firing and sending off signals to the rest of the nervous system about the information they have received.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sensory neurons bring signals into the CNS, and motor neurons carry signals out of the CNS.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sensory neurons detect inputs from the environment, convert them into signals (electrical impulses), and pass the information on to the brain and spinal cord, where a response can be generated.

Detailed explanation-4: -Dendrite – The receiving part of the neuron. Dendrites receive synaptic inputs from axons, with the sum total of dendritic inputs determining whether the neuron will fire an action potential.
