Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The just noticeable difference (jnd) is the minimum difference in stimulation that a person can reliably detect, also known as the difference threshold. It is the smallest change in stimulation that can be detected 50% of the time, and is therefore a measure of sensitivity to differences in perceptual experiences. Hence, the correct choice is option D.
