Explanation:

The spinal cord is part of the central nervous system. The peripheral nervous system includes all the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord. The spinal cord acts as a communication pathway. It carries commands between the peripheral nerves (which are part of the peripheral nervous system) and the brain. Spinal nerves are branches from the spinal cord. Motor nerves are a type of nerve that carry motor commands (but the key here is the connection between a broader part - peripheral nerves - and the brain via spinal cord). Cranial nerves are related to the brain directly (not through the spinal cord in the context of this general connection described).

Answer:

A. peripheral nerves
