    The correct option is A. Mechanoreceptor

    Explanation:

    Mechanoreceptor can be described as a kind of a sensory receptor that generates the response for mechanical pressure. The receptors which bring light touch sensations are a type of mechanoreceptors which are named as Tactile corpuscles. They are receptors which are present in the nerve endings of the skin and are sensitive for light touches. We can say that they are the receptors which have the highest sensitivity present in them.
