Answer 2

Option C : The skin is the correct organ responsible for protecting from heat.

Skin as a Receptor Organ :

• The action of touching the hot boiling water and immediately taking it back is called a reflex action.
• The muscles in the skin act as a reactor toward the heat which acts as a stimulus.
• The skin muscles as a receptor are responsible to transmit this message to the brain i.e. the nervous system through the nerves.
• The skin has sensory neurons in it at the end which sense the impulse caused due to heat and transmits it to the spinal cord.
• The brain and spinal cord then realize and decides on a reflex action to move the hand back. This message is transmitted back to hand for its back movement.

Other Options ( Heart, Eyes, Liver ) :

• The Heart is a part of the circulatory system which is not related to stimulus handling and decision making
• Eyes provide visionary effects and play no role in transmitting stimulus
• The liver is an internal organ to maintain chemical levels and produces bile juice. It is nowhere involved in stimulus handling.
