Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Proprioceptors are sensory receptors located in the muscles, tendons, and joints that provide feedback to the brain about body position and movement. If there is a problem with these receptors, it can lead to difficulties in balance and coordination, causing the person to be more prone to falling down. Therefore, choice A (falling down) is the best answer.
