Answer:
Reflex action is a rapid, automatic response to a stimulus which is not under the voluntary control of the brain i.e., it is an involuntary action.
Example: (i) If we unknowingly touch a hot plate, we immediately move our hand away from it. (ii)Salivation of mouth at the sight or smell of our favorite food.
The pathway taken by nerve impulse in a reflex action is called the reflex arc.Reflex arcs have evolved in animals because the thinking process of brain is not fast enough.
