Answer:

S1

Step-by-step explanation:

The innervation level of the Achilles reflex is best described as S1. The Achilles reflex is a deep tendon reflex that is elicited by tapping the Achilles tendon with a reflex hammer. The reflex tests the integrity of the S1 spinal nerve and the associated nerve roots.
