    d. conveys action potentials to the CNS.

    Explanation:

    The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is divided into sensory and motor divisions. The sensory or afferent division of the PNS serves to conveys the sensory input into the CNS from sensory receptors in the body. This division delivers the sensory information about somatic and special senses to the CNS. Here, somatic senses include tactile, thermal, pain sensations while smell, taste, vision, hearing, etc are categorized as special senses. The sensory receptors of sensory division detect internal stimuli and cranial and spinal nerves carry this sensory information to the brain and spinal cord.
