Model Answer

(c) tongue

Gustatory receptors, which detect taste, are present in the tongue.

Explanation

The passage directly states: "gustatory receptors will detect taste" and lists the tongue as one of the sense organs where receptors are located. "Gustatory" means related to taste, so the tongue is the correct answer. Olfactory receptors (for smell) are in the nose — do not confuse the two.
