A. They can lead to sensor deficits below the level of injury.
Explanation: A spinal cord lesion interrupts ascending sensory pathways and can produce loss or alteration of sensation (and motor function) below the level of the injury. Special senses (cranial nerve–mediated) are usually spared, and "mixing up" signals is not an accurate description.
