A
sensory
B
integrative
C
motor
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -These nerves can provide sensory function, motor function or both. For example, spinal nerves may carry sensations from your joints and muscles to your spinal cord. Spinal nerves also control some of your reflexes or involuntary responses, such as pulling your hand away from a hot stove.

Detailed explanation-2: -The cauda equina includes nerves that provide sensation to your lower body. Your spinal nerves send electrical signals between your brain, spinal cord and the rest of your body. These electrical nerve signals help you feel sensations (sensory nerve) and move your body (motor nerves).

Detailed explanation-3: -The spinal nerve contains motor and sensory nerve fibers to and from all parts of the body. Each spinal cord segment innervates a dermatome (see below and Figure 3.5). Similar cross-sectional structures at all spinal cord levels (Figure 3.1).

Detailed explanation-4: -The spinal nerves emanate from the spinal cord as pairs of nerves composed of both sensory and motor fibers that function as the intermediary between the central nervous system (CNS) and the periphery.
