Pupils reacts to light, narrowing in bright light and widening in poor light - so is a reflex action.
The stimulus in the pupil reflex would be light
the pupil gets smaller because there is an abundance of light present.

Pupil Dilates
The difference between reflex and voluntary action is that a reflex occurs naturally in response to some sort of stimulus and voluntary action is something that is consciously carried out. An example of a reflex action is gagging and an example of voluntary action is flinching when someone is going to hit you.
The constriction of pupils in response to bright light is called the pupillary light reflex. If the light is shining directly into one eye, then the pupil in that eye will constrict (a direct response), but so will the pupil in the non-illuminated eye (a consensual response).This reflex involves two cranial nerves: the optic nerve, which senses the light, and the oculomotor nerve, which constricts both pupils. It is considered involuntary since you don't think about it.
The pupil dilates when stimulated by the pinching on the nape of the neck.
The difference between a reflex and a voluntary muscle is simply that a reflex is autonomic response to a stimulus thus making it involuntary. This in direct contradiction to a voluntary muscle movement with is done by making the conscious decision to do so.

The patellar reflex is inhibited
No, it is a reflex. More specifically it is known as a flexion reflex.
