Answer:

This question is incomplete. Here are the missing options:

  • A) absolute threshold
  • B) difference threshold
  • C) human threshold
  • D) sensory threshold

The answer is A) absolute threshold.

Explanation:

The absolute threshold is described as the minimal degree of a stimulus that can be detected by a person. This applies for all the senses. For example, the absolute threshold for hearing can be measured by a gradually increasing frequency of sound. A stimulus must be detected at least 50% to be considered as the absolute threshold. The lower the threshold, the more sensitive the person.
