Accepted Answer

Proprioception is the sense of the position and movement of one's body parts. It is the ability of the brain to sense the position, orientation, and movement of the body and its limbs without relying on vision. A proprioceptor is a specialized sensory receptor that sends information about the position and movement of the body to the brain. Options A, C, and D are not related to proprioception.
