The proper order of the reflex arc is: receptor (which detects the stimulus), afferent neuron (which carries the signal towards the central nervous system), integration center (which processes the information), efferent neuron (which carries the response signal away from the central nervous system), and effector (which carries out the response). Choice A correctly orders these steps.
