check answer

Explanation:

• Involuntary: Refers to reflexes that occur without conscious control, not specifically about side - of - body activation.
• Ipsilateral: Means on the same side of the body as the stimulus, which is the opposite of what the question asks.
• Monosynaptic: Describes a reflex arc with a single synapse, not related to side - of - body activation.
• Polysynaptic: Refers to a reflex arc with multiple synapses, not about side - of - body.
• Contralateral: Correctly describes reflexes that activate muscles on the opposite side of the body as the stimulus.

Answer:

contralateral.
