Answer: D. through receptors on the tongue and in the nose

Step-by-step explanation:

The human body is equipped with certain receptors that enable it to taste food. Most of these receptors are on the tongue and in the mouth but there are other places they can be found such as in the nose.

The nose has some receptors for taste such as the bitter taste receptors. When activated, these work with the receptors in the tongue to provide the brain with adequate information on the taste of food.
