what is the role of sensory neurons?
sensory neurons are responsible for producing hormones in the body.
carry information from the brain and spinal cord to the sensory receptors in the body.
sensory neurons are responsible for carrying electrical signals between neurons.
carry information from the sensory receptors in the body to the brain and spinal cord.
they are responsible for carrying information from the motor neurons to the brain and spinal cord.

Explanation:

Sensory neurons detect stimuli at sensory receptors and transmit this information as nerve - impulses to the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). They are not involved in hormone production, nor do they carry signals from the brain/spinal cord to receptors or between neurons in a general sense for communication, or from motor neurons to the brain/spinal cord.

Answer:

Carry information from the sensory receptors in the body to the brain and spinal cord.
