Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct sequence of neurons during the withdrawal reflex following touching a hot burner on a stove is: 
1. Sensory neuron - detects the painful stimulus and sends an impulse to the spinal cord.
2. Interneuron - processes the information and activates a response.
3. Motor neuron - carries the response from the spinal cord to the muscle, causing the withdrawal of the hand.

Therefore, the correct sequence is sensory neuron, interneuron, motor neuron, making choice C the best answer.
