Gustation is the special sense associated with the tongue.
The surface of the tongue has different types of structures(raised bumps) called papillae.
Within papillae, tastebuds are present which contain gustatory receptor cells and are sensitive to the chemicals contained within foods that are ingested,
Hence Gustatory receptors are sensitive to taste.
So, the correct answer is 'Taste'.
