Correct answer: sensory receptors → sensory neurons → interneurons → motor neurons.
Explanation: Taste receptors in her mouth detected the sour milk, sensory neurons carried that signal to the brainstem, interneurons processed it, and motor neurons sent commands to the muscles of the mouth and face to spit it out.
