Solution

The correct answer is b- are stimulated only by specific stimuli. This is because sensory receptors are designed to respond to specific types of stimuli. For example, photoreceptors in the eyes are specifically designed to respond to light stimuli, while mechanoreceptors in the skin are designed to respond to pressure or touch stimuli. Each type of receptor has a specific structure that allows it to respond to its specific stimulus.
