The correct answer is C. Nervous system.
The body system that detects a stimulus and creates a response is the nervous system. To arrive at this answer, we must understand the functions of each system listed.
A. Response system (not a recognized body system)
B. Skeletal system: provides support and protection for the body, along with aiding in movement
C. Nervous system: responsible for receiving, processing, and transmitting information throughout the body, allowing us to detect and respond to stimuli
