Ans:
C

Feedback:

Information from the sensory afferents is relayed to the cerebellum and cerebral cortex and is experienced as proprioception or the sense of body movement and position independent of vision. The knee-jerk reflex is a form of stretch reflex. The crossed-extensor reflex serves to integrate motor movements, so they function in a coordinated manner.
