The answer is the first one: taste.

Explanation for each option:

  • Taste: The glossopharyngeal nerve (cranial nerve IX) is responsible for conveying taste sensations from the posterior one-third of the tongue. This is the correct answer.
  • Tactile: While the glossopharyngeal nerve does have some sensory functions, including tactile sensation, its primary role related to the back of the tongue is in taste sensation. Therefore, this option is incorrect in the context of the question.

In summary, the glossopharyngeal nerve primarily conveys taste information from the back of the tongue.
