Solution
The correct option is A Interoceptors Sensory receptors are exteroceptors, proprioceptors or interoceptors. Interoceptors or visceroceptors provide information about the events in the viscera, e.g., receptors sensing blood pressure, plasma osmolarity, blood glucose concentration or the degree of stretching of the urinary bladder. Hence, feeling of pain in one's stomach would be due the interoceptors of the stomach.
