Solution

The correct option is A olfactory, gustatory
Olfactory receptors are the receptors that are present in the nose. They perceive the smell of the molecules that enter the nasal cavity and bind to these receptors.
Gustatory receptors are receptors present on the tongue. They are present in the taste buds of the tongue and provide the sense of taste.
Photoreceptors are receptors present in the retina of the eye. They respond to light and convert the light to an electrical signal, which helps in vision.
