Which statement most accurately describes how we interpret the sensation of taste?

A. The taste buds contain microvilli that project into the taste pore. The molecules bind to receptor proteins located on the microvilli which send a nerve impulse to the spinal cord for interpretation.
B. The taste buds contain microvilli that project into the taste pore. The molecules bind to receptor proteins located on the microvilli which send a nerve impulse to the brain for interpretation.
C. The tongue moves molecules into the mouth so that the sinuses can detect the various scents. This information is then sent to the brain for interpretation.
D. The taste buds contain receptor proteins that are located on the tongue. The molecules bind to receptor proteins which send a nerve impulse to the brain for interpretation.
