Molly is on vacation, lying on a blanket on a hot, sunny beach. She decides to go for a walk down the beach, but the sand is so hot that it burns her feet! Molly then runs into the ocean to cool her feet off. Which statement best describes the active neurons and their functions in this scenario?

a. sensory neurons sent a message about the hot sand to the interneurons. the interneurons then relayed the message to the motor neurons. finally, the motor neurons told molly muscles to get her moving!

b. Sensory neurons sent a message about the hot sand to the motor neurons. The motor neurons then told Molly's muscles to get her moving!

c. Motor neurons are the only neurons involved in controlling movement. They alone sent a message to Molly's muscles to get her moving!

d. Sensory neurons sent a message about the hot sand to the interneurons . The interneurons relayed the message to Molly's muscles to get her moving!

PLEASE HELP! reporting not reasonable answers!
