A
structure
B
size
C
function
D
location
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Receptors can be classified structurally on the basis of cell type and their position in relation to stimuli they sense. They can also be classified functionally on the basis of the transduction of stimuli, or how the mechanical stimulus, light, or chemical changed the cell membrane potential.

Detailed explanation-2: -Receptors are the organs that sense sight, smell, taste, touch and sound. It thus involves eyes, nose, tongue, skin and ears. Muscle is not a receptor.

Detailed explanation-3: -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).
