Choice A is incorrect because peripheral neuropathy typically results in decreased ability to detect temperature.
Choice C is incorrect as loss of sensation to pressure is a common finding in peripheral neuropathy, not increased.
Choice D, hyperreflexia, is not typically associated with peripheral neuropathy but rather with upper motor neuron lesions.
