Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (c) In spinal cord

Explanation

The governing centre of reflex action is the spinal cord, which forms the reflex arc for quick, automatic responses without involving the brain.

The cerebrum controls voluntary thought and the cerebellum controls balance and coordination, so they are not the reflex centre.
