The answer is:
c). must be suppressed and complete reliance placed on the indications of the flight instruments.

Want a better reason to make sure that your instruments are all in working order BEFORE you launch? I've sat there in straight-and-level flight after a protracted heading change in IMC and fought the sensation that I was still turning for what seemed hours. Once you start to experience these sensations, you MUST ignore these sensory inputs and rely entirely on the instruments to establish and/or maintain the desired flight attitude.
