The Main Pathway for Fine Discriminative Touch Information from the Hand

The main pathway for fine discriminative touch information from the hand to the cerebral cortex includes:

A) Group A-β axons $\rightarrow$ fasciculus cuneatus $\rightarrow$ medial lemniscus $\rightarrow$ ventroposterolateral (VPL) nucleus $\rightarrow$ postcentral gyrus
B) Group C axons $\rightarrow$ fasciculus cuneatus $\rightarrow$ medial lemniscus $\rightarrow$ VPL nucleus $\rightarrow$ postcentral gyrus
C) Group A-β axons $\rightarrow$ fasciculus cuneatus $\rightarrow$ medial lemniscus $\rightarrow$ VPL nucleus $\rightarrow$ precentral gyrus
D) Group C axons $\rightarrow$ fasciculus cuneatus $\rightarrow$ medial lemniscus $\rightarrow$ VPL nucleus $\rightarrow$ precentral gyrus
E) Group A- $\alpha$ axons $\rightarrow$ fasciculus gracilis $\rightarrow$ medial lemniscus $\rightarrow$ VPL nucleus $\rightarrow$ postcentral gyrus
