A Correct answer
Explanation

The brain tissue itself has no pain receptors (nociceptors), so it cannot feel pain directly. However, the brain processes pain signals from the rest of your body when you're injured elsewhere, which is why headaches involve pain from the meninges and blood vessels surrounding the brain, not the brain itself.
