Letter C is the correct answer: He believed that the human body works through a reflex arcs system.

René Descartes was a French philosopher, scientific thinker and mathematician who was very well-known for being the 'Father of Modern Philosophy". According to him, while the actions of the mind are voluntary, conscious and meaningful, the body actions are nothing but reflex actions.
