Solution
The correct option is A Pacinian corpuscles
Skin is sensitive to touch, temperature and pressure. It contains the separate receptors such as tactile receptors for touch, Pacinian corpuscles for pressure, etc. Lamellar corpuscles, or Pacinian corpuscles, are one of the four major types of mechanoreceptor cell in the glabrous mammalian skin. They are nerve endings in the skin responsible for sensitivity to vibration and pressure.
