Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
When cold and pressure spots on the skin are stimulated simultaneously, the brain interprets this combination as the sensation of wetness, even if the skin is not actually wet. This is because there is no specific receptor for wetness; instead, our brain interprets the combination of cold and pressure signals as being wet.
