Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Sensation refers to the initial process of detecting and encoding environmental stimuli (such as seeing a flower). Perception is the process by which the brain interprets these sensory signals (such as determining the flower's color is yellow). Cognition involves higher-level brain functions, including thinking, understanding, and imagining (such as picturing the flower in a vase).
