C is correct: This sequence involves receiving sensory information (seeing the ball), processing in the central nervous system, then sending motor signals to muscles.

Other Options:

A is incorrect: Incorrect sequence – Output cannot occur before processing.
B is incorrect: Processing cannot occur before receiving sensory input.
D is incorrect: Processing must occur between input and output for coordinated movement.
