Skin contains receptors that detect touch and may also detect pressure, temperature, and pain; therefore, option A is correct. Light receptors are associated with the retina, taste receptors are concentrated in taste buds of the tongue, and sound detection involves structures of the ear. Thus the alternatives belong to different sensory systems.
