E Correct answer
Explanation

This is the correct option. Sensory neurons transmit impulses from the receptors towards the central nervous system, i.e. towards the spinal cord and the brain. Motor neurons transmit impulses from the central nervous system, i.e. the spinal cord and the brain, towards the muscle cells. Relay neurons occur in the central nervous system, i.e. the brain and the spinal cord, where they serve as a link between other neurons.
