Intermodal perception refers to the ability to use information from more than one sensory system to perceive events in the environment. In option C, the infant has habituated to the singing and rotating toy, indicating integration of visual and auditory senses. When the toy produces a new song, the infant looks longer, demonstrating the ability to integrate the two senses and recognize that the new sound and visuals come from the same object. Therefore, option C is the best example of intermodal perception. Options A, B, and D do not involve integration of information from multiple sensory systems.
