Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Anosmia refers to the loss of the sense of smell. The olfactory bulb is responsible for detecting odors and transmitting the information to the olfactory cortex for processing. If the connection between the two is broken, the individual will be unable to detect odors, resulting in anosmia. Therefore, option A is the correct answer. Options B, C and D are incorrect as they either refer to a condition unrelated to the olfactory system or are contradicted by the loss of olfactory function.
