The correct sequence for the flow of an impulse in a typical reflex arc starts with receptors (which detect the stimulus), followed by sensory neurons (which carry the impulse to the central nervous system), then interneurons (which process the information and determine an appropriate response), followed by motor neurons (which carry the response signal from the central nervous system to the muscles or glands), and finally effectors (which perform the action). This sequence is accurately represented in option C.
