Step-by-step explanation:
Sensory perception is the umbrella term that encompasses all the senses: sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell. Each of these senses is referred to as a sensory modality, which represents the sensation of a specific type of stimulus. For example, touch can be separated into light pressure, deep pressure, vibration, itch, pain, temperature, or hair movement. The main sensory modalities can be further categorized based on how each is transduced, such as chemical senses (taste and smell) and mechanoreceptors (touch, hearing, and balance).
Hence the correct answer is option A
