Solution

The correct option is B Skin
  • Sensitivity to temperature is a skin sense that is related to the human need to maintain internal temperature balance or thermal homeostasis.
  • When the body becomes hotter than the normal temperature the sweat glands releases sweat which in turns cools the skin as it evaporates. This helps the lower internal temperature of the body
  • Hence the organ which senses temperature is skin.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Skin'.
