Kittens and monkeys reared seeing only diffuse,unpatterned light
A) later had difficulty distinguishing color and brightness.
B) later had difficulty perceiving color and brightness,but eventually regained normal sensitivity.
C) later had difficulty perceiving the shape of objects.
D) showed no impairment in perception,indicating that neural feature detectors develop even in the absence of normal sensory experiences.
Neural Feature Detectors
Neurons in the brain that respond selectively to specific features of stimuli, such as edges, angles, or movements.
Unpatterned Light
Light that lacks a discernible structure or order, often used in studies to examine visual processing and perception.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Kittens and monkeys reared in environments with only diffuse, unpatterned light have difficulty perceiving the shape of objects because their visual systems do not develop the necessary neural feature detectors for shape recognition without normal visual experiences.
