Answer: Spinal cord.

Explanation:

The spinal cord of the central nervous system helps to move off quickly as a part of the reflex response. Jill stepped on a tack and suddenly he realizes that he should quickly move his legs out of the tack.

The pain is not stimulated until the signals reaches from the receptor to the brain. The formation of the reflex arc ensures that the amount of potential tissue damaged is less.

It forces the body to move quickly from the place that is causing damage.Example: Moving the leg up involuntarily when stepped on pin.

This occurs because the sensory neurons connects to the motor neurons within the spinal cord.This leads to the contraction of bones and muscles.

Hence, the correct option is spinal cord.

<h2>Angiosperms </h2>

  • Fruits aid in the dispersal of seeds by wind or by animals that carry or eat the fruits
  • In many angiosperms, the male gametophyte contained in a pollen grain can be transported many miles away by wind or animal pollinators
  • Floral parts of the sporophyte protect the reduced female gametophyte from drying out and from UV radiation
  • Seeds protect and nourish plant embryos, and fruits protect the seeds
  • Seeds enable plant embryos to be dispersed long distances from the parent plant via wind or animals
