Hello!

Sensory and Motor are the two types of neurons.

Sensory Neurons: This specific kind of neuron sends signals to your 5 body senses.

Sight, Hearing, Smell, Taste, Touch.

Motor Neurons: Motor neurons carry signals from the CNS to your muscles. CNS means 'Central Nervous System' and this is part of the brain and spinal cord. The brain sends signals to the spinal cord and from there it sends signals to the nerves.

So this means that the correct answer is Motor Neuron. When you touch something hot, your brain sends signals to your spinal cord and then your spinal cord sends signals to your nerves. So instantly you move your hand away when you touch something hot.

Hope this helps!!

Happy Holidays!!!! :)
