Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Dorsal roots emerging from the spinal cord contain sensory neurons, which transmit sensory information from the periphery to the spinal cord. Motor neurons are found in the ventral roots, interneurons may be found in both dorsal and ventral roots, cerebral spinal fluid is found within the central canal of the spinal cord, and ventral anchors is not a term used to describe the components of the dorsal roots.
