Reality testing is the process of determining whether a perception is real or a hallucination. By trying to touch the butterfly's wings, you can confirm if the perception is real or not. Therefore, the best choice is D, reality testing. Perceptual expectancy refers to the tendency to perceive things based on expectations, while perceptual evaluation involves analyzing a perceived object based on its features. Perceptual verification refers to confirming a perception based on pre-existing beliefs or expectations. None of these options accurately describe the situation described in the question.
