Answer 2

Answer:

A.  loss of sensation to pressure and touch

Explanation:

Posterior column-medial lemniscus pathway  also known as  the dorsal column–medial lemniscus pathway (DMLP) is a pathway involved in recognition of sensory simulations and is found in central nervous system.

It is involved in conveying  different sensations like like touch and vibration from skin and joints. Therefore, it can be said that the pathway plays significant role in perception of sensory information from different parts of the body. If any damage occurs to the pathway it can  result in loss of sense of touch and vibration which is ultimately a lack of ability of a person to sense a touch or pressure in the body.
