chemical, formical and sensical
B
chemical, electrical and kenetic
C
chemical, mechanical and electromagnetic
D
chemical, potential and processing
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -According to the activating stimulus sensory receptors can be classified into electromagnetic receptors (photoreceptor, thermoreceptor), mechanoreceptors (hearing, touch, balance, osmoreceptor), and chemoreceptors (odorant receptor, gustatory receptor).

Detailed explanation-2: -Sensory receptors are further classified as mechanoreceptors, thermoreceptors, and nociceptors, depending on the type of inciting stimulus. These receptors may be either free nerve endings, encapsulated nerve endings, or expanded tip endings.

Detailed explanation-3: -The cognitive architecture is comprised of three subsystems: sensory input systems (vision, hearing, taste/smell, touch), central processing systems, and output systems (motor outputs and decision and actions).
