Absolute threshold refers to the minimum stimulation needed for a person to detect a particular stimulus. In this scenario, Rachel's ability to detect her friend's call when she is 15 feet away from her can be considered as her absolute threshold for auditory senses. Her friend's call is the stimulus, and Rachel's ability to detect it at that distance is her absolute threshold. Therefore, option A) is the best choice.
