Solution

The correct option is D no response when pricked with needle
Medulla is the end part of the brainstem that leads into the spinal cord. Any damage to the medulla would affect the transmission of impulses beween the brain and the spinal cord. Thus individual with such damage would not feel any pain. Hence, any damage of the medulla would result in no response when pricked with needle.
