Answer and Solution

Answer

B. Monosynaptic reflex arc, Polysynaptic reflex arc, Somatic reflex arc

Solution:

Reflex arcs are neural pathways that control reflex actions. Examples include monosynaptic reflex arcs (involving a single synapse), polysynaptic reflex arcs (involving multiple synapses), and somatic reflex arcs (involving skeletal muscles). These pathways help in rapid and automatic responses to stimuli. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Monosynaptic reflex arc, Polysynaptic reflex arc, Somatic reflex arc'.
