These respond to deep pressure and vibration
A
Meissner’s corpuscles
B
simple squamous epithelium
C
Pacinian corpuscles
D
Lymphocytes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Ruffini endings are slow adapting, encapsulated receptors that respond to skin stretch and are present in both the glabrous and hairy skin.-Pacinian corpuscles are rapidly-adapting, deep receptors that respond to deep pressure and high-frequency vibration.

Detailed explanation-2: -In corroboration of this supposition, stimulation of Pacinian corpuscle afferent fibers in humans induces a sensation of vibration or tickle. They make up 10–15% of the cutaneous receptors in the hand. Pacinian corpuscles located in interosseous membranes probably detect vibrations transmitted to the skeleton.

Detailed explanation-3: -Pacinian corpuscles are found deep in the dermis, as well as tendons, ligaments, and joint capsules. These are the mechanoreceptors that are responsible for the detection of deep pressure and high-frequency vibrations.

Detailed explanation-4: -[8] Mechanoreceptors respond to physical changes including touch, pressure, vibration, and stretch.
