B. Impulses
Touching a hot pot activates sensory receptors that generate nerve (electrical) impulses. Those impulses travel along sensory neurons to the spinal cord/brain and trigger motor impulses that make your muscles withdraw your hand. (Neurons are the cells that carry impulses; dendrites and synapses are parts of those cells.)
