Solution

The correct option is B initiate nerve impulses
Both olfactory receptors and sound receptors have cilia. The different senses are taste, smell, vision and auditory senses. In humans, specialized sensory receptors are present in distinct sense organs that detect the sensory stimuli and transmit the stimuli as nerve impulses to the brain.

So, the correct answer is 'initiate nerve impulses'.
