Anterior horn cells are the ventral (front) grey matter section of the spinal cord which contains motor neurons that affect the skeletal muscles. It is also known as anterior grey column, ventral horn. The anterior grey column is the column where the cell bodies of alpha motor neurons are located. The destruction of the anterior horn cells of the spinal cord would result in loss of voluntary motor impulses because it is mainly related to motor impulses.
So, the correct answer is option B.
