Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sensory deprivation can occur when there is a reduction in sensory input. Impaired vision (B) limits visual stimuli, inability to ambulate (C) reduces physical and environmental interaction, medications altering perception (D) can affect sensory processing, and lack of family nearby (E) can lead to social isolation, all contributing to sensory deprivation. Severe pain (A) is more related to sensory overload rather than deprivation.
