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.
