Solution

The correct option is A Efferent neurons Neurons can be classified by the direction of the action potential or route by which information travels. Afferent neurons convey information from tissues and organs into the central nervous system (e.g. sensory neurons). Efferent neurons transmit signals from the central nervous system to the effector cells (e.g. motor neurons).
