Solution

The correct option is D In coma patients the organs are functioning but they will not be able to respond to stimulus.
All living organisms need their senses to be aware of their surroundings. They respond to physical, chemical and biological stimuli. Light and temperature are examples of physical stimuli which organisms respond to. Some humans lose consciousness and enter a state called coma. In such patients the organs are functioning but they will not be able to respond to stimulus.
