Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The special senses are grouped in specific organs such as the tongue (taste), nose (smell), eyes (sight), and ears (hearing and balance). Therefore, option D is the correct answer. Option A is incorrect as the special senses are not widely distributed throughout the body. Option B is also incorrect as pain perception is not one of the special senses. Option C is partially correct as touch is a special sense, but it is not limited to the fingertips; it is spread throughout the body.
