In animals, chemosensory reception is accomplished by:

Pheromones
Ultraviolet light
Auditory signals
Taste buds

The correct answer is: Taste buds

Taste buds are clusters of receptor cells located on the tongue that allow animals to taste their food. Pheromones, on the other hand, are chemical signals released by animals to communicate with others of their species. Ultraviolet light and auditory signals are not directly related to chemosensory reception and are typically used for other purposes such as navigation and communication. Therefore, D is the most accurate choice for chemosensory reception in animals.
