The correct option is A Left somatic sensory area
A. Left somatic sensory area
Reason: Human brain is divided into two parts. Those are the right cerebral hemisphere which controls the left half of the body and another one is the left cerebral hemisphere that controls the right half. So touch on the right hand will stimulate the left sensory area that will carry impulse from the receptors to the central nervous system.
So the correct option is A.
