If a receptor becomes active for the wrong stimulus, what problem may occur in the response?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The body may produce an inappropriate response
A receptor begins a response by detecting a specific stimulus and sending information through a sensory pathway. If it is activated by an incorrect stimulus, the nervous system may receive misleading information and select an unsuitable response from the effector. Therefore option A is the logical consequence. The other choices do not follow from receptor activity and describe unrelated or impossible changes.
