Solution
Receptors → Sensory neuron → Spinal cord → Motor neuron → Muscle
Explanation:
The pathway taken by a nerve impulse in a reflex action is called reflex arc.
The correct sequence of the components in a reflex arc is given below:
Receptors → Sensory neuron → Spinal cord → Motor neuron → Muscle.

When we touch a hot plate unknowingly, then this heat is sensed by a receptor P present in our fingers. The receptor triggers and impulse in neuron Q which transmits the message to an organ R which is a part of the central nervous system. Here the impulse is passed on to a neuron S which in turn passes it to a yet another neuron T. The neuron T passes the impulse to a tissue U in our arm. The tissue U then contracts and pulls our hand away from the hot plate.
