    Answer;

    C. how multiple primary sensory neurons synapse on a single secondary neuron.

    Explanation;

    -Convergence play an important role in receptive fields because there is some overlap in field shape, primary sensory neurons can converge onto a single secondary neuron, which allows for summation of multiple stimuli.

    - During secondary receptive field multiple primary sensory neurons converge on a single secondary sensory neuron, their individual receptive fields merge. The larger the secondary receptive field the less the discrimination.
