(D) sensory fatigue

Sensory fatigue happens when your body gets so used to a stimulus that it no longer notices it.

Dominique · Answer 2

B) habituation

Explanation:

Habituation: It refers to a psychological learning process in which a decrease in the response towards a particular stimulus exists after repeated exposure. Habituation can occur with humans as well as animals where they stop responding to a stimulus after the repeated exposure to it.

Example: The sound of the doorbell can initially drag a person's attention but after repeated exposure to the doorbell, the person will get used to it and hence will stop responding.
