Explanation:

The somatosensory cortex processes somatic sensations related to the body's surface and internal organs. Touch, pressure, temperature, and pain are somatic sensations. Sound is processed by the auditory - related areas, smell by the olfactory areas, taste by the gustatory areas, vision by the visual cortex. Balance is related to the vestibular system, and hearing is for sound. So the correct set of sensations for the somatosensory cortex is touch, pressure, temperature, pain.

Answer:

Touch, pressure, temperature, pain
