The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Afferent Nerve Fibers**: - Afferent nerve fibers are responsible for transmitting sensory information from the body to the central nervous system (CNS). 2. **Differentiating Between Afferent and Efferent Fibers**: - Afferent fibers (also known as sensory neurons) carry impulses from peripheral organs (like receptors) to the CNS. - Efferent fibers (or motor neurons) carry impulses from the CNS to the peripheral organs. 3. **Identifying the Direction of Impulse Transmission**: - The question specifically asks about the direction of impulses carried by afferent nerve fibers. - Afferent fibers bring sensory information from the peripheral receptors (like skin, eyes, ears) to the CNS for processing. 4. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the afferent nerve fibers carry impulses from receptors (located in peripheral organs) to the central nervous system. 5. **Final Answer**: - Afferent nerve fibers carry impulses from receptors to the central nervous system.

Assertion:Myelinated nerve fibres are present in spinal and cranial nerves. Reason:Myelinated nerves conduct impulses more radidly than unmyelinated nerves.

Assertion:Reflex arc comprises of at least one afferent neuron, one efferent neuron and a part of PNS. Reason:The efferent neuron receivers signal from a sensory organ and transmits the impulse via a ventral nerve root into the PNS.
