B
Solution:
Mechanoreceptors are sensory receptors that respond to mechanical pressure or distortion. Baroreceptors are a type of mechanoreceptor sensory neuron that are excited by a stretch of the blood vessel. Thus, they receive stimuli from internal organs, specifically detecting changes in blood pressure.
Thermoreceptors detect changes in temperature.
Phonoreceptors detect sound.
Photoreceptors detect light.
