Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The sensory (afferent) division of the peripheral nervous system is responsible for conveying action potentials and sensory information from the sensory receptors in the body to the central nervous system (CNS), not for transmitting signals to sensory organs, stimulating glands or muscles, or functioning without sensory receptors.
