Explanation:

Meissner's corpuscles and Pacinian corpuscles are specialized sensory receptors. Mechanoreceptors respond to mechanical stimuli like touch, pressure, and vibration. Meissner's corpuscles detect light touch and low - frequency vibration, while Pacinian corpuscles detect deep pressure and high - frequency vibration. Chemoreceptors respond to chemical substances, pain receptors to noxious stimuli causing pain, and thermoreceptors to temperature changes. Since the function of Meissner's and Pacinian corpuscles is related to mechanical stimuli, they are mechanoreceptors.

Answer:

A. Mechanoreceptors
