Solution

The correct option is D Pressure contact
Pacinian corpuscles, located deep in the dermis of both glabrous and hairy skin, are found in the bone periosteum, joint capsules, pancreas and other viscera, breast, and genitals. They are rapidly adapting mechanoreceptors that sense deep, transient (not prolonged) pressure, and high-frequency vibration. Pacinian receptors detect pressure and vibration by being compressed which stimulates their internal dendrites.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
