Solution

The correct option is B Feel
'Sense' means a faculty by which the body perceives an external stimulus; one of the faculties of sight, smell, hearing, taste, and touch.
"the bear has a keen sense of smell which enables it to hunt at dusk"
In this context, "Though it can sense the slightest touch anywhere on the body, the brain itself is insensitive to pain", 'sense' means feel or realize. Hence, option D is correct and the other options are not because they do not provide the appropriate information.
