Answer:

The correct answer would be a loss of sensation to pressure and touch.

The dorsal column-medial lemniscus pathway abbreviated as DCML refers to the sensory pathway of the central nervous system (CNS) which transmits sensations of vibration, fine touch, proprioception, and two-point discrimination from the skin as well as joints.

Thus, injury to the dorsal column would result in the loss of sensation to touch and pressure.
