Final Answer : B, Explanation :  Each of the sense modalities has unique properties and follows their own set of rules. For example, the visual system relies on light waves and color processing, while the auditory system relies on sound waves and frequency analysis. The somatosensory system relies on touch and pressure, while the olfactory system relies on the detection of odor molecules. Therefore, each sensory modality operates differently and has distinct characteristics.
