What do the motor neurons do?
A
carry messages from the brain and spinal cord to muscles and glands
B
carry impulses from skin and sends to organs the to spinal cord and brain
C
carry impulses from sensory neurons to motor neurons
D
store messages
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Motor neurons of the spinal cord are part of the central nervous system (CNS) and connect to muscles, glands and organs throughout the body. These neurons transmit impulses from the spinal cord to skeletal and smooth muscles (such as those in your stomach), and so directly control all of our muscle movements.

Detailed explanation-2: -The motor neurons release a chemical, which is picked up by the muscle fibre. This tells the muscle fibre to contract, which makes the muscles move. Neurons carry messages from the brain via the spinal cord. These messages are carried to the muscles which tell the muscle fibre to contract, which makes the muscles move.
