Mixed nerves are nerves that perform both sensory and motor functions. Sensory nerves only transmit sensory information from our senses (such as touch, taste, smell, sight, and hearing) to the central nervous system. Autonomic nerves control involuntary actions such as heartbeat, breathing, and digestion. Spinal nerves are only responsible for transmitting information between the spinal cord and the rest of the body. Therefore, C is the only correct answer as it describes nerves that perform both sensory and motor functions.
