That's correct! The various activities of the nervous system include functions such as integrative, motor, and sensory. To arrive at this answer, you can analyze the options one by one.
Option A states "Integrative." This refers to the ability of the nervous system to receive information from various sensory organs, process it, and coordinate an appropriate response. Integration occurs in the brain and spinal cord.
Option B states "Motor." This refers to the ability of the nervous system to send signals to muscles and glands, enabling movements and bodily functions. Motor functions are controlled by the brain and carried out by the peripheral nervous system.
Option C states "Sensory." This refers to the ability of the nervous system to detect and transmit sensory information from the environment to the brain. Sensory organs, such as the eyes, ears, nose, and skin, detect various stimuli and send signals to the brain for interpretation.
Option D states "All of the above." Since all the functions mentioned in options A, B, and C are indeed activities of the nervous system, option D is the correct answer.
Therefore, the correct answer to the question is option A.
