Solution

The correct option is D Both A and B
Sensory nerves are those nerves which carry the stimulus from the effector organs to the brain which is further processed to generate a specific response. Olfactory receptors are responsible for the detection of odour. Optic receptors are responsible for vision. So, the correct answer is option D.
