Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The ventral rami of spinal nerves carry both motor and sensory fibers to the muscles and organs of the body, including the extremities. The dorsal rami carry sensory and motor fibers to the skin and muscles of the back. The sensory root refers specifically to the sensory fibers that enter the spinal cord, and sensory neurons are the specific type of nerve cells that transmit sensory information.
