Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is an example of a reflex, which is an involuntary reaction to a stimulus. In this case, the stimulus was the hot stove, and the reflex action of removing the hand was automatic and not a learned response or voluntary reaction. Option A is incorrect because the child's response was not learned, but rather a natural reflex. Option B is incorrect because the response was involuntary, not voluntary. Option D is incorrect because an excitatory signal refers to the stimulation of a neuron, and efferent neurons are part of the peripheral nervous system for motor control, but these terms do not accurately describe the child's reaction to the stove.
