i think the answer is quite obvious;since its the dirsal root ganglion is damaged there are two 1st ordeer neurons there(1-those conveying pain and temp, and those conveying vtp(vib crude touch and pressure).Of the given choices the latter is chosen since it ascends directly without relay on the dorsal column(at this level fasiculas cunatus).
