Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pheromones are known to trigger attraction and can be released unconsciously by individuals. This is a possible explanation for Victoria's increasing attraction to her coworker Mel. Hair cell sensitivity (A) and umami receptors (B) are involved in hearing and the perception of taste, respectively, and are unlikely to be responsible for Victoria's attraction. Thalamic activity (D) is involved in sensory processing and is not directly related to attraction.
