    a. Sensory Deprivation

    Explanation:

    Intracranial pressure (ICP) is the pressure exerted within the skull and on the brain tissue by fluids such as the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).

    During the cycling accident there is an increased intracranial pressure due to a increase in cerebrospinal fluid pressure. It is the fluid covering the spinal cord and the spine. Rise in intracranial pressure can disturb the sensory perception of the person.

    The person is at more risk to sensory deprivation, so a person has placed in a room with low light and care which which will minimize stimulation that creates a risk of sensory deprivation.

    Hence, the correct option is a.
