The correct statement is that A-delta fibers give the ability to localize pain to a specific spot, and both A-delta and C fibers respond to mechanical pressure and temperature extremes. Option A is incorrect, as A-delta and C fibers are the fibers that transmit pain. Option B is incorrect, as these fibers are not heavily myelinated. Option E is incorrect, as pain originating from A-delta fibers is referred to as "fast" pain, not C fibers.
