Solution

The correct answer is c. Mechanoreceptors. These are sensory receptors which respond to mechanical pressure or distortion. They can be found in various areas throughout the body, such as the skin, bones, muscles, and internal organs. When these areas are subjected to pressure, stretching, or other mechanical forces, the mechanoreceptors are stimulated and send signals to the brain, which interprets these signals as tactile sensations like touch, pressure, vibration, proprioception, and hearing.
