OpenStudy (znappydooz):

I would go for B, but I'm not so sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the bottom of the heel is usually super rough if you dont sand it or something so you cant feel much.

OpenStudy (znappydooz):

Oh... good point... maybe he's right :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

he? im a girl.

OpenStudy (znappydooz):

Typo :P Sorry, I meant she*

More sensitive areas have more receptors that sense pressure, temperature, etc., thus making them more sensitive to touch than others. For example, fingertips have more receptors than the back of the leg and are therefore more sensitive. I think there are more there because they are considered more important to the body or easily damaged. The face, with its proximity to the brain, has more receptors than between your toes. Although, I think the middle of the back doesn't have as many even though it is near the spine, so there may be more to this. Their for with your answer it would be The Skull, because the skull has more receptors then the nose or heel.
