Answer:
Explanation:
The decrease in response to repeated or continuous stimulation is habituation which is option(c).
Habituation is described as a reduction in response brought on by repetitive stimulation, as opposed to a decrease brought on by peripheral processes such receptor adaptation or muscular weariness. It is an internal nerve system process (in animals with nervous systems). A multitude of parametric parameters, involving elements like stimulus frequency and intensity, spontaneous recovery of the habituated response, etc., are used to characterise habituation in more detail. The definition of sensitization is an increase in responsiveness brought on by (often strong) stimulation. 'Hard-wired' stimulus-response mechanisms, including as reflexes, established action patterns, arousal, etc., are what are typically referred to as habituation.
