Solution

The correct option is B Pain
Nociceptors are sensory receptors that send signals for the perception of pain in response to a potentially damaging stimulus. They detect signals from damaged tissue or chemicals released from the damaged tissue. They are found in the skin, muscle, joints, bone and viscera. Thus the correct answer is option B.
