The answer is the third one: All spinal nerves are mixed.

Explanation for each option:

  1. All spinal nerves carry only sensory information: This is incorrect. Spinal nerves are not solely sensory; they carry both sensory and motor information.

  2. Some spinal nerves carry sensory information and some carry motor information: This is incorrect. While individual nerve fibers within the spinal nerves can be sensory or motor, each spinal nerve as a whole is mixed, containing both types of fibers.

  3. All spinal nerves are mixed: This is correct. Spinal nerves are composed of both sensory and motor fibers, meaning they carry both types of information.

  4. All spinal nerves carry only motor information: This is incorrect. Spinal nerves do not carry only motor information; they also carry sensory information.

In summary, spinal nerves are mixed nerves, meaning they contain both sensory and motor fibers, allowing them to transmit both types of information.
