Options: A. contralateral

B. ipsilateral

C. both

Answer:B. ipsilateral

Explanation:The ciliospinal reflex which is also known bas pupillary-skin reflex is usually made uo of the dilation of the ipsilateral pupil this dilation is in response to pain applied to the neck, face, and upper trunk.

If you stimulate the left side of the subject, the response will be only in the ipsilateral which means the stimulation will be felt in the same side of the subject which in this case is the Left side if the subject.
