Which is the correct example of an involuntary action?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Heartbeat
The governing concept is the distinction between conscious and automatic actions. An involuntary action occurs without deliberate control, and the heartbeat continues rhythmically even when we are asleep or not thinking about it. Hence, option C is correct. Writing, running, and jumping generally require conscious decisions and coordinated movement of skeletal muscles, so they are voluntary actions.
