Imagine a call in the visual cortex which has receptive fields located at slightly different positions in the two retinas.
A
The cell will be tuned for disparity.
B

C
This produces motion selectivity for the cell
D
None of the other answers is correct.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The receptive fields are smallest in the digits of the hand (A) and largest in the torso (C). Each subcortical somatosensory neuron responds to modality-specific stimuli applied to a specific region of the body or face.

Detailed explanation-2: -The receptive field (RF) of a neuron refers to the attributes of a visual stimulus that generates a response in that cell, and typically includes a description of visual field location and preference for other specific features, such as preferred orientation or direction of visual stimuli.
