Detailed explanation-1: -Efferent neurons, also called motor neurons, are the nerve fibers responsible for carrying signals from the brain to the peripheral nervous system in order to initiate an action. In other words, they are the neurons that tell your body to perform an action, such as removing your hand from a hot pan.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: B) Afferent nerves are called sensory nerves, and motor nerves are called efferent nerves.
Detailed explanation-3: -The efferent nerves are nerves that carry nerve impulses away from the central nervous system. They carry the impulses to muscles and organs.
