Illusions are caused by misperceiving or distorting stimuli that actually exist. Hallucinations, on the other hand, are perceptions in the absence of any external stimulus. Illusions are also not necessarily the result of innate mechanisms, as they can often be influenced by environmental factors such as lighting or context. Therefore, option A is the best choice.
