What does "tactile" refer to?

Visual
Tangible
Auditory
Conceptual

The correct answer is: Tangible

The term "tactile" refers to the sense of touch and is associated with the perception of physical sensations through the skin, such as texture, temperature, and pressure. It directly relates to anything that can be touched or felt, making "tangible" the most fitting choice. This aligns with the nature of tactile experiences, which involve direct physical interaction with objects or surfaces. The other options highlight different sensory modalities. The visual option pertains to sight, which does not involve physical touch. The auditory option relates to hearing, focusing on sounds rather than tactile sensations. Finally, the conceptual option involves abstract thinking and ideas, which also do not engage the sense of touch. Therefore, "tangible" is the term that accurately corresponds to the meaning of "tactile."
