C)Photoreceptors
D)Mechanoreceptors
E)Baroreceptors

Accepted Answer

Thermoreceptors are specialized sensory receptors that respond to changes in temperature, including both heat and cold. They are found in various parts of the body, including the skin, hypothalamus, and internal organs. When activated, these receptors send signals to the brain, which then interprets the information and signals the body to respond accordingly.
