Brandan Hoang · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : C, Explanation :  Sensory adaptation is the process by which sensory receptors become less sensitive to repeated presentations of the same stimulus, allowing individuals to selectively attend to important changes in their environment. Sensory fatigue refers to the temporary loss of sensitivity due to overstimulation, while sensation refers to the initial process of detecting and encoding sensory information. Discrimination refers to the ability to discern differences between stimuli.
