Which sense corresponds to the term Olfactory?

Smell Taste Sight Hearing

Correct Answer:

Smell

Explanation:

Olfactory refers to the sense of smell. It comes from the nose detecting odorant molecules, with receptors in the nasal cavity sending signals to the brain to create the perception of odors. This is different from taste (gustation), which involves the tongue; sight (vision), which involves the eyes; and hearing (audition), which involves the ears. So the sense associated with olfactory is smell.
