multiple choice question

Explanation:

• Special senses are those that use sense organs located mainly in the head. Vision (eyes), hearing (ears), equilibrium (inner ear), taste (tongue), and smell (nose) are all examples of special senses.
• Primary is not a standard term for this category of senses.
• Somatosensory refers to the sense of touch, pressure, pain, etc., which are not limited to the head.
• General is too broad a term and not specific to this group of head - limited sense organs.

special
