The right answer is motor neuron.

A motor neuron, or motor neuron, is a nerve cell that is directly connected to a muscle and controls its contraction. It can act on a small or a large number of muscle fibers, the whole being called a motor unit. Motor neurons therefore control the movements of the body.
