Answer:

The correct answer is a spinal reflex.

Step-by-step explanation:

When we talk about reflexes, we mean the involuntary and rapid response to a stimulus. It is called spinal reflex because the spinal cord is responsible for regulating these stimuli.

It can be seen that we are aware of the reflexes until after they have occurred, this is because the upper region of the brain does not intercede, so there is no awareness of the reflexes.

When a spinal reflex occurs, sensory nerve fiber circuits come into operation, which sends the information directly to the spinal cord, and this is responsible for sending this information to an intermediate neuron and motor fibers, and finally, they go to the muscle that will have the reflex.

I hope this information can help you.
