Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sensory adaptation refers to the process by which our sensory receptors become less sensitive to constant stimuli. In this case, being in cold water for a while causes our sensory receptors to adapt and become less sensitive to the cold, causing the water to feel warmer. Option B is an example of the opposite of sensory adaptation (sensitization), where increased exposure to a stimulus leads to increased sensitivity. Option C is not an example of sensory adaptation as it describes a situation where irritation continues despite constant exposure to the stimulus.
