• A. Processing information
• B. Control
• C. Both (1) and (2)
• D. Reflex action

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Both (1) and (2)

Answer 2

The Central Nervous System (CNS) consists of the brain and the spinal cord. Its primary functions include receiving and integrating sensory information from various parts of the body, processing this information to generate appropriate responses, and controlling various bodily functions, both voluntary and involuntary. Therefore, the CNS is the site where information is processed and where control over the body's activities is exerted. Reflex actions are a specific type of rapid, involuntary response, often mediated by the spinal cord (part of CNS), but the overall functions of the CNS are much broader, encompassing general information processing and control.

Thus, the CNS is the site of both processing information and control.
