This assertion and reason statement is true. Reflex actions are involuntary and do not involve the conscious part of the brain. They are quick responses to a stimulus that help protect the body from harm. The reflex arc, which is responsible for reflex actions, involves a sensory neuron, an interneuron, and a motor neuron. The sensory neuron detects the stimulus and sends a signal to the spinal cord. The interneuron then processes the signal and sends a response to the motor neuron, which activates the appropriate muscle or gland to produce the reflex action.

Option 1 is the correct answer.
