Answer:

The correct answer is option C. "motor neuron".

Step-by-step explanation:

Motor neurons are nerve cells that allow for muscle and gland movement by following the electrochemical pathway from the brain or spinal cord to their final destination. Motor neurons facilitate muscle contraction and modify proprioceptive sensitivity Therefore, motor neurons are responsible for most of the body movement, including swatting at a fly by stimulating the arms to move.
