Final Answer : B, Explanation :  Learning is not directly observable, but it can be inferred from changes in behavior or performance. This is why performance is often used as a measure of learning. Option A is incorrect because learning is not something that we can see, touch, or hear directly. Option C is incorrect because the results of learning may not always be immediately apparent in behavior, as some types of learning may take time to be integrated and applied.
