Answer:
Option E, C tactile (CT) afferent
Explanation:
Whenever a slow moving gentle touch experienced, the response is due to the nerve fibers called C-Tactile afferents (CTs).
C-Tactile afferents (CTs) are unmyelinated mechanoreceptors of low threshold and low conduction velocities.
In humans, CT neurons are found in hairy skin.
The pleasant feeling observed during a slow gentle touch is due to the interaction of
CT neurons project to the insular cortex in the brain
Hence, option E is correct
