Which is an example of a reflex?

Answer
A
putting on a coat when you see that it is snowing outside
B
pulling your foot away after stepping on a sharp object
C
laughing at a funny joke told by one of your classmates
D
eating a snack when your stomach growls from hunger

Explanation

A reflex is a rapid, automatic response to a stimulus that does not require a deliberate decision. Stepping on a sharp object triggers the automatic response of pulling your foot away, so the correct choice is pulling your foot away after stepping on a sharp object. The other actions involve more conscious decisions or interpretation.
