Answer: A. dorsal root

A dorsal root of the spinal nerve are bundles of roots that branches off the spinal cord and goes to other areas of the body to carry signals of sensation (pain and temperature) from the body to the brain. If a person with a suspected spinal cord injury cannot feel his right arm, he likely injured a dorsal root.
