Solution

The correct option is A True
  • If one sense is lost, the areas of the brain normally devoted to handling that sensory information do not go unused they get rewired and put to work processing other senses.
  • A new study provides evidence of this rewiring in the brains of deaf people. The brain adapts to the loss by giving itself a makeover. Hence, If a person lacks one sense organ the brain concentrates on remaining sense organs and these sense organs become more sensitive.
So, the correct answer is 'true'.
