The answer is A.

A somatic neuron is the one that delivers an action potential from the CNS to a skeletal muscle.

Explanation:

The " Somatic Nervous System" in the one responsible for transmitting information from the CNS to all your body. This can control and respond to stimulants in your muscles, skeleton, skin and your senses like sight and hearing.

For every action that you want to perform, maybe voluntarily or involuntary (reflexes) the Somatic Motor Neurons are involve to make the reaction possible.
