Answer:

The correct answer would be option B.  

Explanation:

Mechanoreceptors are receptors present in the skin and different types of organs that can sense the vibrations and differences in the pressure or distortions.

These receptors can detect physical touch and sensation and sends signals to the motor neurons. If there is an error or problem in the mechanoreceptors there will be a problem in sensing or feeling of someone touching your hands.

Increase in ambient global temperatures.: The humans must prevent the increase in global temperature worldwide by preventing the rise of greenhouse gases which can lead to global warming worldwide.

Recyling energy to be used again: The sources of energy like wood, waste water can be recycled again for reutilization.

Regulation of oxygen and carbon dioxide levels.: The oxygen and carbon dioxide levels must be regulated. As oxygen is the basic requirement for respiration. The increase in carbon dioxide levels due to human activities is likely to cause respiratory diseases and health hazards in living beings.

An increase of erosion and siltation along waterways.: The erosion and siltation will likely to deposit nutrients and debris which may either contaminate the waterway or may cause eutrophication.
