The correct answer is D


A-alpha fibers - the largest myelinated fibers, range in diameter from 7-16 microns,conduction velocity from 70-120m/s, encoded for the transmission of muscle spindle and tendon organ afferents

A-beta fibers - responsible for sensibility of touch, diameter from 6-8 microns, conduction velocity 30-70 m/s.

A-delta fibers - transmit stimuli encoded for temperature and fast or first pain, smallest myelinated, diameter 2.5-4 microns, conduction velocity 12-30 m/s
