Final answer:

The TASER X26 ECD affects the Sensory and motor nervous systems, which are part of the sensory-somatic nervous system responsible for both sensing stimuli and initiating motor responses.

Step-by-step explanation:

The TASER X26 ECD is designed to affect the c) Sensory and motor nervous systems. The sensory and motor nervous systems are parts of the sensory-somatic nervous system, which transmits information from the skin, muscles, and sensory organs to the central nervous system and sends motor information to and from the central nervous system and the muscles. It is through the sensory nervous system that external stimuli are converted via sensory transduction into electrical signals which are then relayed to the brain. The motor nervous system then responds to signals from the brain and spinal cord to control the actions of muscles and produce movement or reflex actions.

When a subject is hit by a TASER device, the electrical impulses affect the sensory-motor functions, potentially resulting in involuntary muscle contractions and temporary incapacitation. This is designed to safely subdue a person without causing permanent harm, targeting the body's neuromuscular system rather than the cardiac system.
