Solution

The correct option is C Tongue
Taste buds are sensory organs that are found on your tongue and allow you to experience tastes that are sweet, salty, sour, and bitter. Taste buds have very sensitive microscopic hairs called microvilli. Those tiny hairs send messages to the brain about how something tastes, whether if it is sweet, sour, bitter, or salty.
So, the correct answer is 'Tongue'.
