Solution

The correct option is A Monitor levels of oxygen and sugar in blood
The sensory neurons monitor the levels of carbon dioxide, oxygen and sugar in the blood, arterial pressure and the chemical composition of the stomach and gut content. They also convey the sense of taste and smell, which, unlike most functions of the ANS, is a conscious perception. Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
