Answer:

spinal cord

Explanation:

Reflex actions are the involuntary action of the body in response to a signal or stimulus. The reflex action of body is controlled by spinal cord.

Reflex arc acts as a neural pathways that transmit impulse to the brain via spinal cord. Sensory neurons pass through synapse in the spinal cord which activate spinal motor neuron to act immediately without any delay.

Immediate taking off hand from hot oven is an example of reflex action, which is regulated by spinal cord.

Hence, the correct option is spinal cord.
