Emotion questions

When a person is surprised by a loud noise, the information from the cochlea travels to the auditory cortex. The startle reflex causes physiological changes which include the neck muscles tensing within two-tenths of a second from the stimulus to the increased tension in the neck muscles. What is the pathway that allows this extremely quick transmission of threat information?

(Choice A)
Auditory cortex => lateral and basolateral amygdala => pons => motor cortex
(Choice B)
Auditory cortex => midbrain => pons => lateral and basolateral amygdala
(Choice C)
Auditory cortex => midbrain => lateral and basolateral amygdala => pons
(Choice D)
Auditory cortex => lateral and basolateral amygdala => midbrain => pons
