The main functions of the nervous system include monitoring the environment (both internal and external), detecting changes, and "deciding" what to do in the face of change to help the body maintain homeostasis.Nervous System by Jmarchn (CC BY-SA 4.0)The nervous system monitors the environment using sense organs, which are packed with sensory receptors.

Solution
The incorrect sensory organ and receptor pairing is BEyeball: mechanical receptor. The eyeball uses photoreceptors, not mechanical receptors, to detect changes in the environment.
