C Correct answer
Explanation

The brain is the central processing unit of the nervous system and receives all messages transmitted by nerve cells throughout the body. Neurons carry electrical signals from sensory receptors and other body parts to the brain for processing and response generation. The lungs, heart, and liver perform vital functions but do not serve as the central message-receiving center.
