Answer: The Spinal Cord

Reflex action is controlled by the spinal cord.

A reflex action is an automatic (involuntary) and rapid response to a stimulus, which minimizes any damage to the body from potentially harmful conditions, such as touching something hot. Reflex actions are therefore essential to the survival of many organisms.

The nerve pathway followed by a reflex action is called a reflex arc. For example, a simple reflex arc happens if we accidentally touch something hot.
