Answer:

Motor neurons

Step-by-step explanation:

Motor neurons are the one that delivers the motor information from the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) to the effectors (muscles) so that the required response can be generated.

In the given question, Gretchen's brain is commanding her muscles to move and run to protect herself from the dog. The information from the brain to muscles is carried out by "motor neurons" .
