Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The flexion (withdrawal) reflex involves multiple synapses, as it requires activation of sensory neurons, interneurons in the spinal cord, and motor neurons to produce a coordinated withdrawal response. The other reflexes listed are monosynaptic, involving only a single synapse between sensory and motor neurons.
