Introduction:
The nervous system is divided into two separate systems, namely the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and the central nervous system (CNS). The PNS consists of the all the nervous tissues. It is further divided into two parts, afferent and efferent divisions.
Explanation of Solution
The afferent division is a part of the PNS, which transfer sensory information obtained from the visceral and the somatic receptors to the CNS. There are many kinds of receptors, such as sense organs and specialized cells. The afferent division also transmits information from the sense organs, which includes the ear and eye.
Therefore, it can be concluded that the term afferent division can be correctly matched with option (c) sensory information.
