Answer:

The correct answer will be option B.

Explanation:

Neurons are the structural and functional unit of the nervous system. Based on the transmission of nerve impulse these neurons can be divided into two divisions :

1. Afferent neurons: Neurons which transmit the impulse from the periphery to CNS- brain or spinal cord. Sensory neurons are such neurons which carry the impulse of stimulus to CNS.

2. Efferent neurons: Neurons which transmit the signals from the CNS to the periphery or muscle which causes voluntary action. Motor neurons are considered efferent neurons.

Thus, option B is the correct answer.
