According to Albert S. Bregman's description of auditory scene analysis, unrelated auditory streams rarely start or stop at the same time. This concept is known as the principle of common fate, which states that sounds that start and stop at the same time are likely to be part of the same sound source. Therefore, unrelated sounds are more likely to have different temporal patterns and start and stop at different times. Choice B is incorrect because it suggests that unrelated auditory streams typically start and stop at the same time, which is not consistent with Bregman's theory. Choice C is also incorrect because a single auditory stream does not necessarily have to include an abrupt change in frequency, amplitude, or timbre.
