Choice Letter(s) or Number(s): B

Otolith organs are responsible for detecting changes in linear acceleration and gravity. They contain mechanoreceptors, specifically hair cells, that are important for transducing mechanical stimuli into electrical signals that the brain can interpret. Chemoreceptors detect chemical stimuli, such as scents or tastes, and photoreceptors are responsible for detecting light. These types of receptors are not located in the otolith organs.
