The correct answer is C. The somatosensory cortex is in the parietal lobe.
The somatosensory system comprises an organism complex consisting of reception and process centers, whose function is to produce stimulus modalities such as touch, temperature, proprioception (body position) and nociception (pain). The sensory receptors act on the skin, the epithelium, the skeletal muscle, the bones and joints, internal organs and the cardiovascular system.
The process takes place mainly in the primary somatosensory area located in the parietal lobe of the cerebral cortex.
