The experiment described is testing Jason's ability to detect the absolute threshold of light, which is the minimum amount of light that can be detected by a person. The difference threshold (A) is the smallest amount of change in a stimulus that can be detected, and the just noticeable difference (C) is the smallest detectable difference between two stimuli. The psychophysical limit (D) is a broad term that encompasses the study of the relationship between physical stimuli and the sensations and perceptions they produce.
