Verified step by step guidance

Identify the sensory receptors involved in the sense of smell, which are located in the nasal cavity.

Understand that these sensory receptors are known as olfactory receptors, which detect odor molecules.

Recognize that the olfactory receptors send signals through the olfactory nerve fibers.

Learn that these nerve fibers converge to form the olfactory nerve, which transmits the sensory information to the brain.

Finally, note that the olfactory bulbs are the structures in the brain that receive and process the input from the olfactory nerve, making them the correct answer.
