BReflex Actions ✓ Correct
CBiological Instincts
DIntellectual Instincts
Correct answer: (B) Reflex Actions — Withdrawing the finger from a pin prick is a reflex action, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★Withdrawing the finger from a pin prick is a reflex action, so that is the answer.
★A reflex action is an involuntary, immediate response to a stimulus.
★It is coordinated by the spinal cord without waiting for the brain.
★The pin prick is the stimulus and pulling back the finger is the protective response.
★This quick response protects the body from harm.
★Instincts are complex inborn behaviour patterns, not such simple automatic reactions.
