There are no answer choices given here. However, let’s apply prior knowledge. The skin is essential in sensing physical touch, pain, and temperature.

What this means is that the skin can detect if someone is hurt or not (i.e pinching or hitting). This also means the skin can detect when someone or something is touching it. If the object touching the skin has a high temperature, the human is likely to react with an “ow” or “ouch” or some sort of response to the temporal pain. When the temperature is low, the response will likely be to avoid contact because of how “cold” the object is.
