Answer:

A. Sensory; motor

Explanation:

Sensory neurons carry messages to the central nervous system from the extremities and outer parts of the body, that's why if you feel pain in a hand a sensory neuron should be responsible for carrying it into the nervous system and then the central nervous system to the muscles to move away from it, that signal will be carried by a motor neuron.
