Final answer:

Motor neurons are the first neurons to be stimulated when you decide to "snap your fingers"

Step-by-step explanation:

The first neurons to be stimulated when you decide to "snap your fingers" are b) Motor neurons. Motor neurons are responsible for carrying signals from the central nervous system (e.g. brain and spinal cord) to the effector organs, such as muscles, and causing them to contract or move.

In the case of snapping your fingers, the motor neurons would transmit the signal from your brain to the muscles in your fingers, resulting in the snapping motion.
