Final answer:
The response to touching the hot stove and quickly removing the burning hand is a reflex action that involves sensory neurons detecting the stimulus and the brain sending a motor response.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the scenario you touch your hand to a hot stove and quickly remove it because it burns, the response would be b) Quickly removing your hand. The sequence of events involved here is a reflex action. The hot stove acts as the stimulus; the feeling of burning is the sensation received by sensory neurons; and the withdrawal or removing the hand quickly is the motor response. When sensory neurons detect the high temperature, they send a signal through the nervous system to the brain. The brain then processes this information and sends a motor response to move the muscles of the arm to remove the hand from the stove, even before you consciously decide to move.
