Based on the information processing stages described for a nervous system, particularly as exemplified by the cone snail, what is the correct sequence of these stages?

  • A: Integration → Sensory Input → Motor Output
  • B: Sensory Input → Integration → Motor Output
  • C: Motor Output → Sensory Input → Integration
  • D: Effector → Sensor → Processing Center

Explanation

The text explicitly states, 'Information processing by a nervous system occurs in three stages: sensory input, integration, and motor output.' The cone snail example then illustrates this sequence.
