The best choice is: "The person could get hurt because she would not receive the message that the thorns were sharp and would not remove her hand."

Reason: If body subsystems (sensory receptors, nerves, brain, and muscles) stopped interacting, the pain signal wouldn't be sent/processed and no motor command to withdraw the hand would occur, so the person could remain pricked and sustain more injury.
