B. The pathway of a reflex action is known as reflex arc. In this arc, the stimulus is received by the receptors and is passed through the sensory nerves to the spinal cord. The spinal cord receives information and passes a response for the stimulus through the motor nerves to the effectors that are muscles and glands.
The spinal cord actually helps in giving the response to the stimulus where as the brain is given the information about the response and the stimulus after the response is given to the effectors. The brain gets to know about the stimulus after the effectors give the response to the stimulus.

C. The examples of reflex action in daily life includes:-
Such stimulus can harm the organism and so the reflex arc helps in getting fast response for the stimulus so that the organism does not get hurt from the stimulus.
