Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The sense of kinesthetic is important for the perception of the positions of the various parts of the body. This sense allows us to be aware of the position, movement, and orientation of our body parts without having to use visual cues. It is also known as proprioception. Homeostatic sense is related to the regulation of the body's internal environment. Vestibular sense is related to balance and spatial orientation. Kinetic is not a relevant sense in this context.
