Use the following to answer questions :
Refer to the figure below

-The figure shows the response of a touch receptor in response to two stimulus strengths. What can you conclude about the relationship between the strength of the stimulus and the likelihood of the touch receptor to fire?
A) The lighter the push against the skin, the more likely it is that the touch receptor will fire.
B) The harder the push against the skin, the more likely it is that the touch receptor will fire.
C) The strength of the stimulus is unrelated to the likelihood of the touch receptor to fire.
D) Light touches cannot cause the touch receptor to fire.

The graph shows that as the strength of the stimulus increases (i.e. the force of the touch), the frequency of firing in the touch receptor also increases. Therefore, the harder the push against the skin, the more likely it is that the touch receptor will fire.
