How is the "sensory system" best defined?

Forcing a person to perform or participate in sexual acts against his or her will.
A part of the nervous system responsible for processing sensory information.
Confidence in one's own worth or abilities; self-respect.
A substance made and released by a living thing, like when your skin sweats.

The correct answer is: A part of the nervous system responsible for processing sensory information.

The definition of the "sensory system" as a part of the nervous system responsible for processing sensory information is accurate because this system encompasses the body's ability to detect and respond to stimuli through senses such as sight, sound, taste, touch, and smell. These sensory organs and pathways communicate information about the environment to the brain, allowing us to perceive and react to our surroundings effectively. This makes option B the best choice, as it correctly identifies the role and importance of the sensory system within the nervous system framework. The other options pertain to unrelated concepts: the first option describes a violation of personal autonomy, the third relates to self-esteem and personal confidence, and the fourth discusses biological substances like sweat rather than sensory processing.
