Question

john changes the position of the oars in the water to steer the kayak and avoid rocks in his path. which statement correctly describes how john is able to steer the kayak?
a. johns brain sends a signal to his eyes; his eyes transmit this signal to his arms to change the position of the oars.
b. johns eyes send a signal directly to his arms to change the position of the oars.
c. johns eyes send a signal to his brain; his brain processes this information and sends a signal to his arms to change the position of the oars.

Explanation:

The question involves how sensory input (sight of rocks) leads to motor action (steering oars). The correct process is: eyes detect obstacles, send signals to the brain for processing, and the brain sends signals to arms to adjust oars.

Answer:

C. John's eyes send a signal to his brain; his brain processes this information and sends a signal to his arms to change the position of the oars.
