When a receptor is stimulated, it sends a signal to the central nervous system, where the brain coordinates the response. But sometimes a very quick response is needed, one that does not need the involvement of the brain. This is called as the reflex action. In a simple reflex action: Stimulus -> Receptor -> Sensory neuron -> Relay Neuron -> Motor neuron -> Effector (Muscle).
So, the correct answer is 'Receptors - Sensory neuron - Spinal cord - Motor neuron - Muscle'
