Weber's law states that the difference threshold, or the minimum amount of difference that can be detected between two stimuli, is directly proportional to the magnitude of the stimuli. In other words, larger stimuli require a larger difference to be detected, while smaller stimuli require a smaller difference to be detected. So the correct choice is A) magnitude.
