Solution

The correct option is D Pacinian corpuscles
Pacinian corpuscles are a type of proprioreceptors i.e. sensitive to internal stimuli. They are located in the dermis that encloses nerve endings. They are onion shaped structures made up of connective tissue. They are sensory receptors which perceive the sensation of pressure, tissue vibrations and tension.
Free nerve endings detect pain and touch and Ruffini's corpuscles detect heat.
So, the correct answer is 'Pacinian corpuscles'.
