Explanation:

Question 7

A reflex is defined as an involuntary, automatic response of the body to a stimulus. Myotome refers to a group of muscles innervated by a single spinal nerve, and sensation is the process of detecting stimuli, not the automatic response itself. So the correct option is Reflex.

Intervertebral discs are located between vertebrae and function as shock absorbers and cushions. Neurons are nerve cells, and muscles are for movement and support, not for cushioning between vertebrae. So the correct option is Intervertebral discs.

Answer:

B. Reflex
