End Feel describes?

Explanation:
End feel is the perceived quality of resistance when a joint is moved passively to the end of its available motion. As the barrier is approached during passive motion testing, the examiner senses how the tissues respond to further movement—hard, firm, soft, springy, or empty—indicating what is limiting ROM. This matches the option that describes end feel as the perceived quality of motion as the barrier is approached. It's not about increased muscle tone, tenderness, or simply the distance between barriers; those relate to tone, pain, or overall ROM rather than the tactile end-point feel at the end of motion.
